John 5:31 Context
29And shall come foorth, they that haue done good, vnto the resurrection of life, and they that haue done euill, vnto the resurrection of damnation. 30I can of mine owne selfe doe nothing: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father, which hath sent me. 31If I beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse is not true. 32¶ There is another that beareth witnesse of me, & I know that the witnesse which he witnesseth of me, is true. 33Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.
