37 And the Father {Patēr} who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You⁺ have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38 nor does His word abide in you⁺, because you⁺ do not believe the One He sent.

39 You⁺ pore over the Scriptures (Writings) because you⁺ presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40 yet you⁺ refuse to come to Me to have life.

41 I do not accept glory {Doxan} from men,

42 but I know you⁺, that you⁺ do not have the love {agapēn} of God {Theou} within you.

43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you⁺ have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you⁺ will receive him.

44 How can you⁺ believe if you⁺ accept glory {doxan} from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God {Theou}?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you⁺ before the Father {Patera}. Your⁺ accuser is Moses (drawn out), in whom you⁺ have put your⁺ hope.

46 If you⁺ had believed (had faith) Moses (drawn out), you⁺ would believe (have faith) Me, because he wrote about Me.

47 But since you⁺ do not believe what he wrote, how will you⁺ believe what I say?
