And the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
All Commentaries on John 5:37 Go To John 5
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
The Father, &c. . . . hath borne witness, as at My baptism. Again, He hath borne witness concerning Me, through the Scriptures by Moses and the prophets.
Observe, Christ in this place, besides the testimony of John , adduces three other and greater witnesses to show that He is the Messiah: 1. By His miracles (ver36); 2. By the Father"s voice at His baptism; 3. By the Scriptures (ver39).
