5:34 (I do not accept ⁵  human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)

John 3:11

3:11 I tell you the solemn truth, ⁶  we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but ⁷  you people ⁸  do not accept our testimony. ⁹

5:36 “But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds ¹⁰  that the Father has assigned me to complete – the deeds ¹¹  I am now doing – testify about me that the Father has sent me.

[3:33]  ¹ tn Or “is true.”

[1:7]  ² tn Grk “came for a testimony.”

[1:7]  ³ tn Or “to bear witness.”

[1:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “all.”

[5:34]  ³ tn Or “I do not receive.”

[3:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[3:11]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to show the contrast present in the context.

[3:11]  ⁶ tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied in the translation to indicate that the verb is second person plural (referring to more than Nicodemus alone).

[3:11]  ⁷ sn Note the remarkable similarity of Jesus’ testimony to the later testimony of the Apostle John himself in 1 John 1:2: “And we have seen and testify and report to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was revealed to us.” This is only one example of how thoroughly the author’s own thoughts were saturated with the words of Jesus (and also how difficult it is to distinguish the words of Jesus from the words of the author in the Fourth Gospel).

[5:36]  ⁵ tn Or “works.”

[5:36]  ⁶ tn Grk “complete, which I am now doing”; the referent of the relative pronoun has been specified by repeating “deeds” from the previous clause.
