Summary

You see this witness thing was a big deal in Jesus’ culture. It was one of the central concepts of Jewish law and society. So when Jesus makes this statement, about himself, the Pharisees start to freak. Jesus is going against the grain of one of the core ideas in their belief system. Or so it would seem. But if we look a little closer, at John chapter 5 in particular, we see five sources of testimony or witness about Jesus. There are five sources that identify Jesus as the Son of God, the Messiah, the light of the world, and the giver of light of life. (I encourage you to read the passage for yourself: John 5:31-47). The Old Testament required two or three witnesses for a testimony to be established. But Jesus offers five in John chapter five.
