Commentary on John 5:36

Theological / Devotional

That of John. In view of the context in v. 34 it seems clear that Jesus means here that He has greater witness than any that John gave to Him.

Works. These include not only Jesus’ miracles but all of His ministry for men: His sinless life, His teaching, His acts of mercy, His death, and His resurrection. Taken together, these works constitute a testimony to the truth of His claims, one that no human declaration can approach in importance. “The highest evidence that He came from God is that His life revealed the character of God” (DA 407).
