Jesus speaks of several witnesses in the passage in question:
1) John the Baptist (v.33, 35)
2) His own miracles ("works") (v.36)
3) The Father Himself, speaking through the Old Testament scriptures (vs. 37-39)
4) Moses (vs. 45-47)
In John 5:31-47, Jesus mentions four witnesses: John the Baptist, the works that Jesus did, the Father, and the Scriptures. These witnesses collectively testify to Jesus' identity as the Son of God.
The phrase "Jesus was the light of the world" can be found in the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of John, where Jesus refers to himself as the light of the world in John 8:12 and John 9:5.
Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him when he went to heal Jairus' daughter. These three disciples often accompanied Jesus on important occasions, such as the Transfiguration and Gethsemane.
The disciple who brought the boy with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes to Jesus was Andrew.
The Apostles were the disciples of Jesus who were chosen by him to spread his teachings and establish the Christian church. There were twelve original Apostles, including Peter, James, John, and Matthew. They were the primary witnesses to Jesus's teachings, life, death, and resurrection.
In biblical context, Jesus is emphasizing the importance of having multiple witnesses to verify the truth of his claims. Jesus is teaching that his testimony alone may not be seen as credible but when supported by other witnesses like John the Baptist, his testimony is validated. This highlights the principle of needing reliable evidence to establish truth.
John the Baptist foresaw the coming of Christ. He came to the world, lived, died and resurrected concerning the prophecy. Several passages expressly state that John the Baptist was a witness for Christ: Jesus listed John as one of His witnesses. John 5:31-33 John came for the purpose of being a witness to the Light (Christ). He bore witness regarding Jesus (cf. v19) so that all might believe. John 1:6-9
The phrase "Jesus was the light of the world" can be found in the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of John, where Jesus refers to himself as the light of the world in John 8:12 and John 9:5.
John 5:18 indicates that "the Jews" (really the Jewish religious leaders) wanted to kill Jesus, and wanted to use the fact that He healed on the Sabbath as another excuse to have Him removed permanently. The rest of John chapter 5 gives more of the story, as well as Jesus' response.
A:To the author of John's Gospel, Jesus was most certainly God, and we should be cautious of reading any part of John to mean that Jesus was not God. John 5:44-45 does suggest a lapse, in which Jesus did deny he was God, but need not be read this way; John 17:3 is ambiguous and could more readily be seen as a denial by Jesus that he was God, but again need not be read this way. In Mark 10:18 (Why call me good. There is none good but God.), Jesus clearly does deny being God.
Russia has banned all activities of the Witnesses. But we remain happy. Matt. 5:10 tells us to remain happy during persecution and 2 Tim 3:12 tells us that we would be persecuted if we follow Jesus.
According to Jesus their is salvation only through him. Jesus says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except though me." Adding to this you have to be baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost to go to Heaven. Read Acts 2:38 and John 3:5. Plus Jesus and God are the SAME! Ephesians 4:5 and John 3:13 KJV!
Jesus mentions the word 29 times in John, in chapters 5, 8, 10, 11-17, & 19-21.Incidentally, the most well-known verse of the Bible is in John (3:16) -- which is about the love of God -- but Jesus didn't say it.
Peter. See John 13:5-9.
John the Baptizer, the cousin of Jesus, prepared the way for Jesus. John's mother was Elizabeth, the virgin Mary's first cousin. Jesus referred to him as the same as Elijah who is prophesied to come before Jesus return the 2nd time to the Jews. For we read in Malachi 4:5 "Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives .
(1) Jesus was a Prophet sent by God - John 17:3 (2) Jesus was only sent to the Jews - Matthew 15:24 (3) Jesus came to call sinners to repentance Luke 5:32 (did not die for anybody sins) (4) Jesus will be coming back the second time Isaiah 11:1-11 (5) The Jews needed to see miracles and all the miracles Jesus performed were with the permission from God "By myself I can do nothing" John 5:30.
Witnesses believe that ''Enoch was "transferred so as not to see death," which may mean that God put him in a prophetic trance and then terminated Enoch's life while he was in the trance so that he did not experience the pangs of death. (Ge 5:24; Heb 11:5, 13) However, he was not taken to heaven, in view of Jesus' clear statement at John 3:13. It appears that, as in the case of Moses' body, Jehovah disposed of Enoch's body, for "he was nowhere to be found."
