Question
John 5:30 - 46 (Witnesses to Jesus) please explain this Scriptures
If you kindly explain some scriptures it will be better for me to understand.
With thanks and love,
Suvomoy
Hi suvomoy dixit,
Y'shua (Jesus) is discussing his ministry with a group of religious Jews who are questioning his authority. It seems rather self explanatory to me. I'm not really clear on what you want to know.
Y'shua says that his authority comes from God and that everything he does is under God's authority.
He says that his works and his words attest to the validity of his claim.
John the Baptist was a powerful prophet and he was executed. Y'shua is reminding them, and warning them, that he is a greater prophet than John and that he is conducting God's business. To oppose him is to oppose his Father.
He accuses his accusers of hypocrisy. He points out that he is living in harmony with the Holy scriptures while they are not.
He points out that it is they who are in opposition to the teachings of Moses, not he and he challenges them to judge him based on the Scriptures. If that is the foundation of their judgment, he says, he will be found innocent of their charges and his ministry will be confirmed.
There is a lot more that could be said here but not knowing the reason for the question this probably enough. If you have more specific questions let me know.

I will be happy to discuss all aspects of Christianity, Judaism, biblical doctrine, prophecies, etc. The Bible offers a wealth of information to us! So if you are wondering what the Bible has to say about any topic drop me a note.
After 40 plus years of study and research I have concluded that the religion taught by Y'shua (Jesus) is best defined as authentic Messianic Judaism. This is the approach I bring to these questions. If you are interested in a Messianic Jewish perspective I'm here to answer.
I have hands-on experience with several different Christian denominations as well as with Judaism, the Noahide movements, Islam and more.
I head our shul's (synagogue's) free online Yeshiva Beth HaShem: http://templebethhashem.org/yeshiva if you would like to learn more about Messianic Judaism.
