33
You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34
Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.
35
He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36
But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.
