## John 5:36-37 in Context (Verses 33–40 KJV)
 
 [33 ](/kjv/john/5/33) Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/john/5/34) But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/john/5/35) He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/john/5/36) ¶ But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/john/5/37) And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/john/5/38) And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/john/5/39) ¶ Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/john/5/40) And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
 
[John 4](/kjv/john/4) [John 6](/kjv/john/6)
