John 5:35-39 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. ³⁶ But I have a testimony greater than John's; for the works which the Father gave to Me, that I should complete them, these very works which I do, testify of Me, that the Father has sent Me. ³⁷ And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified about Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. ³⁸ But you do not have His word abiding in you, because Him whom He sent, Him you do not believe. ³⁹ You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about Me.
