St John 5:35-47 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

35. He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

36. But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect; the works themselves, which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37. And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38. And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not.

40. And you will not come to me that you may have life.

41. I receive glory not from men.

42. But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

43. I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

44. How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?

46. For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also; for he wrote of me.

47. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
