Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:236

διʼ ὀλίγων γραμμάτων αἰτοῦμαι ὑμᾶς· πιστεύσατέ μοι. Ἰησοῦς δὲ Χριστὸς ὑμῖν ταῦτα φανερώσει, ὅτι ἀληθῶς λέγω· τὸ ἀψευδὲς στόμα, ἐν ᾧ ὁ πατὴρ ἐλάλησεν ἀληθῶς.

English · Claude translation

In these few lines I ask you: believe me. And Jesus Christ will make it plain to you that I am speaking the truth: he is the unlying mouth by whom the Father has spoken truly.
