John 5:31-47
Jesus said to the Jews:
“If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is not true. But there is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that the testimony he gives on my behalf is true. You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth. I do not accept human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.He was a burning and shining lamp,and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light. But I have testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father gave me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me. Moreover, the Father who sent me has testified on my behalf. But you have never heard his voice nor seen his form, and you do not have his word remaining in you,bbecause you do not believe in the one whom he has sent. You search the Scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf.
But you do not want to come to me to have life.

“I do not accept human praise;
moreover, I know that you do not have the love of God in you. I came in the name of my Father,
but you do not accept me; yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him.
How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God? Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father: the one who will accuse you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me,
because he wrote about me.
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

Mga Patotoo Patungkol kay Jesus
Juan 5:31-47
31Kung ako ay magpapatotoo patungkol sa aking sarili, ang aking patotoo ay hindi totoo. 32Iba ang nagpapatotoo patungkol sa akin at alam ko na ang patotoong pinatotohanan niya patungkol sa akin ay totoo.33May sinugo kayong mga Judio kay Juan at siya ay nagpatotoo sa katotohanan. 34Hindi ako tumatanggap ng patotoo mula sa tao datapuwat sinasabi ko ang mga bagay na ito upang kayo ay maligtas. 35Siya ang nagniningas at nagliliwanag na ilawan. Kayo ay pumayag na magalak ng maikling panahon sa kaniyang liwanag.
36Ako ay may patotoong mas higit kaysa sa patotoo ni Juan. Ang mga gawain na ipinagkaloob sa akin ng Ama upang tapusin ay nagpapatotoo patungkol sa akin. Ang mga gawaing ginagawa ko ay nagpapatotoong ang Ama ang nagsugo sa akin. 37Ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ay siyang nagpatotoo patungkol sa akin. Kailanman ay hindi ninyo narinig ang kaniyang tinig o nakita man ang kaniyang anyo. 38Walang nanatiling salita niya sa inyo dahil hindi kayo sumampalataya sa sinugo niya. 39Sinasaliksik ninyo ang mga kasulatan sapagkat sa palagay ninyo na sa mga ito ay may buhay na walang hanggan. Ang mga kasulatang ito ang nagpapatotoo patungkol sa akin. 40Ayaw ninyong lumapit sa akin upang kayo ay magkaroon ng buhay.
41Hindi ako tumatanggap ng kaluwalhatian mula sa mga tao. 42Subalit kilala ko kayo, na sa inyong sarili ay wala kayong pag-ibig sa Diyos. 43Pumarito ako sa pangalan ng aking Ama at hindi ninyo ako tinanggap. Kapag may ibang pumarito sa kaniyang sariling pangalan ay siya ninyong tatanggapin. 44Papaano kayo makakasampalataya, kayo na tumatanggap ng kaluwalhatian sa isa't isa? At hindi ninyo hinahanap ang parangal na nagmumula sa iisang Diyos.
Huwag ninyong isiping pararatangan ko kayo sa Ama. Si Moises na inyong inasahan ang siyang magpaparatang sa inyo.
Yamang sumampalataya kayo kay Moises ay sasampalataya rin kayo sa akin. Ito ay sapagkat siya ay sumulat patungkol sa akin. Yamang hindi ninyo sinasampalatayanan ang kaniyang mga sinulat papaano ninyo sasampalatayanan ang aking mga salita?

If the Jews revere Moses, then they should hear and believe in Jesus about whom Moses spoke. In spite of these witnesses, the Jews do not believe in Jesus. They refuse to see the light.
They keep their hearts and minds closed to a new horizon, which God is inviting them to see in the person, words, and works of Jesus.
If you want Jesus to come into your life, you have to invite Him.
Heavenly Father, we invite you to come into our life, be our Lord and Savior. Forgive us our sins and failures because of our weaknesses. Protect us from the snares of the devil and keep us away from sin. May you continue to shower your blessings to us Lord God almighty father. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen!
