Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. John
005:036 "But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John;
for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to
bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing--
affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.
005:037 And the Father who sent me, *He* has given testimony concerning me.
None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what
He is like.
005:038 Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse
to believe Him whom *He* has sent.
005:039 "You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them
you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures
that yield testimony concerning me;
005:040 and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.
005:041 "I do not accept glory from man,
005:042 but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do
not really love God.
005:043 I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not
receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself,
him you will receive.
005:044 How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory
from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes
from the only God?
005:045 "Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father.
There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom
your hope rests.
005:046 For if you believe Moses, you would believe me;
for he wrote about me.
005:047 But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"
006:001 After this Jesus went away across the Lake of Galilee (that is,
the Lake of Tiberias).
006:002 A vast multitude followed Him, because they witnessed the miracles
on the sick which He was constantly performing.
006:003 Then Jesus went up the hill, and sat there with His disciples.
006:004 The Jewish Festival, the Passover, was at hand.
006:005 And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming
towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread
for all these people to eat?"
006:006 He said this to put Philip to the test, for He Himself knew
what He was going to do.
006:007 "Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough
for them all to get even a scanty meal."
006:008 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,
said to Him,
006:009 "There is a boy here with five barley loaves and a couple of fish:
but what is that among so many?"
006:010 "Make the people sit down," said Jesus. The ground was
covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men
numbering about 5,000.
006:011 Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He
distributed them to those who were resting on the ground;
and also the fish in like manner--as much as they desired.
