Testimonies of Jesus (John 5:31-47)
In this passage, Jesus confronts the religious leaders with their inability to recognize Him as the Messiah. He explains that His claims are supported by multiple witnesses, each validating His divine mission and identity. According to Jewish law, the testimony of two or three witnesses is necessary to establish truth (Deuteronomy 19:15). Jesus provides four: John the Baptist, His miraculous works, the Father Himself, and the Scriptures.
