This passage continues the discussion between Jesus and the religious leaders who wanted to kill Him after He healed a man on the sabbath. Jesus started by making dramatic claims to His own authority and equality with God (5:19-30). In our passage for this week, He continues by taking a courtroom approach and calling on witnesses to who He is, establishing the validity of His claims. This is a great passage to show us that Jesus didn’t stand on His own claims, even as the incarnate Word of God, but still pointed to witnesses and evidence to His own divinity.
