John 5:30-33
Living Bible
30 “But I pass no judgment without consulting the Father. I judge as I am told. And my judgment is absolutely fair and just, for it is according to the will of God who sent me and is not merely my own.
31 “When I make claims about myself they aren’t believed, 32-33 but someone else, yes, John the Baptist,[a] is making these claims for me too. You have gone out to listen to his preaching, and I can assure you that all he says about me is true!
