VERSE (34) - :41; 8:54

SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:34

Pero yo no tomo el testimonio de hombre; sino digo estas cosas, para que vosotros seis salvos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 5:34

Verse 34. But I receive not testimony from man [only.] I have no need of John's testimony: the works that I do bear sufficient testimony to me, ver. 36.

But these things I say, &c.] You believed John to be a prophet-a prophet cannot lie: he bore testimony that I am the Lamb of God, that beareth away the sin of the world, chap. i. 29; therefore, that ye may be saved by believing in me as such, I have appealed to John's testimony.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 34. But I receive not testimony from man , etc.] He stood in no need of an human testimony, nor did he rest the truth of his deity and divine sonship thereon: he had other and greater testimonies to produce; as he needed not that any man should testify of man to him, he had no need that any man should testify of him; and if the testimony of men was received, as this of John could not well be objected to, the testimony of God is greater, and which he had; and therefore should not have mentioned Johns for his own sake: but these things I say, that ye might be saved ; that is, he produced this testimony of John, who was a person of so great a character among them, that they might be induced by it to believe in him as the Messiah; and so be saved from that ruin and destruction, that would come upon their nation, city, and temple, for their rejection and disbelief of him.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 30-38 - Our Lord returns to his declaration of the entire agreement between the Father and the Son, and declared himself the Son of God. He had highe testimony than that of John; his works bore witness to all he had said But the Divine word had no abiding-place in their hearts, as the refused to believe in Him whom the Father had sent, according to his ancient promises. The voice of God, accompanied by the power of the Holy Ghost, thus made effectual to the conversion of sinners, stil proclaims that this is the beloved Son, in whom the Father is wel pleased. But when the hearts of men are full of pride, ambition, an the love of the world, there is no room for the word of God to abide in them.
