John 5:35-39 He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁵ He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light. ³⁶ But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me. ³⁷ And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen. ³⁸ And you have not kept his word in your hearts, because you have not faith in him whom he has sent. ³⁹ You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.
