John 5:36-47 ▼

36 |But I have a greater testimony than John's, because the actions that the Father has given me to complete—the very actions that I am doing—testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.

37 Moreover, the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen what he looks like,

38 nor do you have his word at work in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he sent.

39 You examine the Scriptures carefully because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about me.

40 But you are not willing to come to me to have life.

41 |I do not accept human praise.

42 I know that you do not have the love of God in you.

43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. Yet if another man comes in his own name, you will accept him.

44 How can you believe when you accept each other's praise and do not look for the praise that comes from the only God?

45 Do not suppose that I will be the one to accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope,

46 because if you believed Moses, you would believe me, since he wrote about me.

47 But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe my words?|
