John Chapter 5, Verse 33
From BibleWiki
33: Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
33: You sent to John: and he gave testimony to the truth.
Ye sent unto John. See Jn 1:19.
He bare witness, &c. This testimony of John ought to have satisfied them. John was an eminent man; many of the Pharisees believed on him; he was candid, unambitious, sincere, and his evidence was impartial. On this Jesus might have rested the proof that he was the Messiah, but he was willing, also, to adduce evidence of a higher order.
