Edge brought it up during an AOL chat, and he said it refers to the Gospel according to John. Oddly though, there is no Chapter 33 in John. But John 3:33 in a modern english version of the Bible says, "But whoever accepts his message confirms by this that God is truthful."

this seems to fall in line with what Edge (and Bono?) said next in the AOL chat, which seemed to be a criticism of those who claim to believe in God, but then do horrible things in the name of religion, or act in ways that seem contrary to the teachings in the New Testament.
