John 5:31-47
If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true; there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true. You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen; and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent. You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. I do not receive glory from men. But I know that you have not the love of God within you. I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"

Dili madawat nan mga nag-kontra kan Jesus an Ija langit’non na oturidad sanan an Ija pagka-bugtong na Anak nan Ama.
Taghanapan pa nila si Jesus nan ebidensiya sa Ija Messianic na deklarasyon na parehas Sija sanan si God.
Duha an testigos ni Jesus sa Ija mga deklarasyon: una, si John the Baptist na pabalik-balik na nag-anunsiyo na Messiah Sija, sanan an ikaduha, mismo si Moses an nagtukoy kan Jesus bilang Messiah, an sinaad na Manunubos.
An problema sa mga scribe sanan Pharisee kay an ila tag-tuonan nan pansin an ila kaugalingon na posisyon sanan oturidad lamang ugsa na notig’a na ila mga kasing-kasing na waya na’y ila kapasidad na maka-sabot nan gusto ni God ipasabot dila.
Si Lord Jesus ra gajud an makapadayag sanan makahatag dato nan huna-huna sanan kasing-kasing ni God pinaagi sa Holy Spirit na amo’y moabri nan ato mga talinga para nato hibatian an gusto ni God na ato hibatian gikan Dija.
