John 5

Jesus heals a lame man on the Sabbath in the temple, sparking a controversy. He shouldn't be telling people to carry their mats on Shabbat, and He certainly shouldn't be calling Yahweh His personal Father. When the Jews object, Jesus presses on: the Father has given Him - the Son, Jesus - life on His own, and all of the Father's power to judge and raise the dead, too.

John bore witness to this truth about Jesus.
Jesus' own works were bearing witness to this truth about Jesus.
The Father bears witness to this truth about Jesus.
The Scriptures (Moses) bear witness to this truth about Jesus.
