John 5:32-36

32There is aanother who bears witness about me, and bI know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 cYou sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34Not that dthe testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35He was a burning and eshining lamp, and fyou were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36But gthe testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For hthe works that the Father has given me ito accomplish, the very works that I am doing, jbear witness about me that kthe Father has sent me.

26Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you owho fear God, to us has been sent pthe message of qthis salvation. 27For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because rthey did not recognize him nor understand sthe utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, tfulfilled them by condemning him. 28And uthough they found in him no guilt worthy of death, vthey asked Pilate to have him executed.
