33 Ὑμεῖς ἀπεστάλκατε πρὸς Ἰωάννην καὶ μεμαρτύρηκεν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. “You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
34 ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου τὴν μαρτυρίαν λαμβάνω ἀλλὰ ταῦτα λέγω ἵνα ὑμεῖς σωθῆτε Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved.
35 Ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καὶ φαίνων ὑμεῖς δὲ ἠθελήσατε ἀγαλλιαθῆναι πρὸς ὥραν ἐν τῷ φωτὶ αὐτοῦ He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
36 ἐγὼ δὲ ἔχω τὴν μαρτυρίαν μείζω τοῦ Ἰωάννου τὰ γὰρ ἔργα ἃ δέδωκέν μοι ὁ Πατὴρ ἵνα τελειώσω αὐτά αὐτὰ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιῶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὅτι ὁ Πατήρ με ἀπέσταλκεν But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me.
37 καὶ ὁ πέμψας με Πατὴρ ἐκεῖνος μεμαρτύρηκεν περὶ ἐμοῦ οὔτε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ πώποτε ἀκηκόατε οὔτε εἶδος αὐτοῦ ἑωράκατε And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,
38 καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔχετε ἐν ὑμῖν μένοντα ὅτι ὃν ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖνος τούτῳ ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετε and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.
39 Ἐραυνᾶτε τὰς γραφάς ὅτι ὑμεῖς δοκεῖτε ἐν αὐταῖς ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔχειν καὶ ἐκεῖναί εἰσιν αἱ μαρτυροῦσαι περὶ ἐμοῦ You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,
40 καὶ οὐ θέλετε ἐλθεῖν πρός με ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχητε yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
41 Δόξαν παρὰ ἀνθρώπων οὐ λαμβάνω I do not receive glory from people. “I do not accept glory from human beings,
42 ἀλλὰ ἔγνωκα ὑμᾶς ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔχετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.
43 ἐγὼ ἐλήλυθα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Πατρός μου καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετέ με ἐὰν ἄλλος ἔλθῃ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἰδίῳ ἐκεῖνον λήμψεσθε I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
44 πῶς δύνασθε ὑμεῖς πιστεῦσαι δόξαν παρὰ ἀλλήλων λαμβάνοντες καὶ τὴν δόξαν τὴν παρὰ τοῦ μόνου Θεοῦ οὐ ζητεῖτε How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Μὴ δοκεῖτε ὅτι ἐγὼ κατηγορήσω ὑμῶν πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα ἔστιν ὁ κατηγορῶν ὑμῶν Μωϋσῆς εἰς ὃν ὑμεῖς ἠλπίκατε Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.
46 εἰ γὰρ ἐπιστεύετε Μωϋσεῖ ἐπιστεύετε ἂν ἐμοί περὶ γὰρ ἐμοῦ ἐκεῖνος ἔγραψεν For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
47 εἰ δὲ τοῖς ἐκείνου γράμμασιν οὐ πιστεύετε πῶς τοῖς ἐμοῖς ῥήμασιν πιστεύσετε But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?” But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”
