People's New Testament

5:36 I have greater witness. His works given of the Father, the Father's voice at baptism, and the Scriptures, which are the Father's word.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

36-38. I have greater witness-rather, "The witness which I have is greater."

the works . bear witness of me-not simply as miracles nor even as a miracle of mercy, but these miracles, as He did them, with a will and a power, a majesty and a grace manifestly His own.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

5:30-38 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 higher 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 they 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, still proclaims that this is the beloved Son, in whom the Father is well pleased. But when the hearts of men are full of pride, ambition, and the love of the world, there is no room for the word of God to abide in them.

Matthew 11:4 Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you hear and see:

John 2:23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.

John 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

John 4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me.

John 10:38 but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."

John 14:11 "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.
