5:30 The unbelief of the religious leaders
30 Yeshua continued explaining to the religious leaders, “I don’t do anything in isolation. Whenever I hear from him, only then do I judge and my judgement is correct and impartial because I’m not imposing my desires, but the desire of the one who sent me.
31 “If I just testified about myself, my testimony would not be correct or even valid. 32 However it’s another one that’s testifying about me, and I know that his testimony about me is true. 33 [ref]You sent people out to question Yohan and his testimony was true. 34 but I don’t even need any testimony that comes from people, because I am teaching you how to be saved. 35 Yohan was a bright and shining light and you appreciated it for a short time. 36 But I have a stronger testimony than Yohan’s because the father has entrusted works to me to complete, and which I’m already doing and which clearly show that the father sent me here. 37 [ref]And since he sent me, he himself has testified about me. You people have never listened to his voice, nor have you ever seen him! 38 And his way of thinking is obviously not in your minds, because you don’t believe the one that he sent. 39 You look in the Jewish scriptures because you suppose that they’ll lead you to eternal life. Those very scriptures testify about me coming, 40 yet you refuse to come to me in order to receive life.
41 “I’m not getting any praise from people 42 but I do know that you people don’t actually love God in your hearts. 43 I have come with my father’s authority and you don’t accept me, but if someone came claiming their own authority, you’d happily accept them. 44 How could you possibly believe when you just accept acclamations from each other, but don’t even seek praise from the only God. 45 But don’t be assuming that I’ll be accusing you all in front of the father. No, the one who’ll accuse you is Mosheh because he’s the one that you’re hoping to please. 46 The trouble is that if you actually believed what Mosheh wrote, you would believe me, because Mosheh was writing about me. 47 But since you don’t really believe his writings, you’re not at all likely to believe me.”
Yhn 1:19-27:
1:19 The interrogation of Yohan-the-immerser
19 Yohan explained some of this when the Jewish leaders sent out priests and temple workers from Yerushalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 He didn’t flinch from the truth and so he told them, “I am not the chosen messiah.”
21 [ref]So they asked him again, “Are you Eliyyah come back to life?”
And he answered, “No, I’m not.”
They asked, “Are you the prophet?”
Again he answered, “No, I’m not.”
22 So they asked him, “Who are you then? We need to give an answer to the ones who sent us. How do you describe yourself?”
23 [ref]So he said, “I am a voice shouting[fn] in the wilderness smooth the path of the master, as the prophet Isayah said.”
24 Some of the ones sent out were members of the Pharisee party. 25 These ones asked Yohan, “So why are you immersing people then if you aren’t the messiah or Eliyyah or the prophet?”
26 He answered, “I’m immersing people in water, but somewhere here among us all there’s someone you don’t know— 27 the one coming after me, and I’m not even good enough to untie his sandal straps!”
1:23 We’ve deliberately omitted putting a comma here, because it’s also possible that the comma should go after ‘wilderness’.
3:27-30:
27 “None of us get anything if it’s not being given from heaven,” Yohan answered. 28 [ref]“You yourselves know that I said that I’m not the messiah, but rather the one coming before him. 29 It’s the groom that has the bride—the best man is happy because he sees that the groom is happy. So I’m actually completely happy with all this. 30 It’s right and proper that he should increase and I should fade out.”
Mat 3:17:
17 [ref]Then, wow, a voice came from the sky and said, “This is my son that I love and I’m pleased with.”
Mrk 1:11:
11 [ref]And a voice came from the sky saying, “You are my son who I love and am pleased with.”
Luk 3:22:
22 [ref]and the holy spirit came down onto him in the bodily form of a dove, and a voice came from the sky, “You are my son that I love and take pleasure in.”
