done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they
that have done ill, unto the resurrection of judgement. I can of
Myself do nothing; as I hear, I judge: and My judgement is
righteous; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of Him
that sent Me. If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
It is another that beareth witness of Me; and I know that the
witness which He witnesseth of Me is true. Ye have sent unto John,
and he hath borne witness unto the truth. But the witness which I
receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be
saved. He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing
to rejoice for a season in his light. But the witness which I have
is greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath
given Me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of
Me, that the Father hath sent Me. And the Father which sent Me, He
hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any

for whom He sent, Him ye believe not. Ye search the scriptures,
because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are
they which bear witness of Me; and ye will not come to Me, that ye
may have life. I receive not glory from men. But I know you, that ye
have not the love of God in yourselves. I am come in My Father's
name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name,
him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive glory one of
another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that
accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. For if ye
believed Moses, ye would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. But if ye
believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?"--JOHN v.
15-47.

As soon as the impotent man discovered who it was that had given him
strength, he informed the authorities, either from sheer
thoughtlessness, or because he considered that they had a right to know,
or because he judged that, like himself, they would rather admire the
miracle than take exception to the Sabbath-breaking. If this last was
his idea, he had not gauged the obtuseness and self-righteous spite of
honest and pious literalism. "For this cause did the Jews persecute
Jesus, because He did these
