John 5:31

Verse 31 of 47. The 5th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

27He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

28Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

29and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

30I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

31“If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

32It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

35He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
