Exegesis
The negated clause ou para anthrōpou {οὐ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου | ou parà anthrṓpou} front-loads the prepositional phrase “from man,” highlighting the human source that is being denied before introducing the object tēn marturian {τὴν μαρτυρίαν | tḕn martyrián} and the verb lambanō {λαμβάνω | lambánō}. This word order emphasizes that human-origin testimony is specifically what Jesus refuses to receive.
In context — John 5:34
But I do not receive the testimony from man; instead, I say these things so that you may be saved .
