John 5:36 Context
34But I receiue not testimonie from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saued. 35He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to reioyce in his light. 36¶ But I haue greater witnesse then that of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of mee, that the Father hath sent me. 37And the Father himselfe which hath sent me, hath borne witnesse of me. Ye haue neither heard his voyce at any time, nor seene his shape. 38And ye haue not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeue not.
