34 Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

36 But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38 nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
