Summary: Jesus points out that while John testified to the truth, His works are a greater testimony of the Father’s will. Through these works, Jesus proves He was sent by the Father.
Gospel Acclamation: Come, Lord, bring us your peace that we may rejoice before you with a perfect heart.
Jesus said to the Jews: “You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth. I do not accept testimony from a human being, but I say this so that you may be saved. John was a burning and shining lamp, and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light.
But I have testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father gave me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.”
