“If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.”
John 5:31 (KJV)
Commentary on John 5:31
Jesus acknowledges that His testimony alone wouldn't be legally valid ('If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true'), referencing Jewish law requiring multiple witnesses (Deuteronomy 17:6). Yet He will demonstrate that multiple witnesses do attest to Him: the Father, John the Baptist, His works, and Scripture. This shows Christ's respect for proper testimony while affirming His divine mission.
