Read John 5 A fourfold witness of Jesus as God!  It’s hard enough to find two witnesses to testify to find the truth, but here we have four witnesses that testify to the truth that Jesus is the Messiah.  It’s even a Biblical principle to have two or three witnesses for any establishment of truth (Deuteronomy 19:15).  First, we have …
