you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you!

5:40 but you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
5:41 “I do not accept praise from people,
5:42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
5:44 How can you believe, if you accept praise from one another and don’t seek the praise that comes from the only God?
5:45 “Do not suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.

John 15:20-24
15:20 Remember what
I told you, ‘A slave
is not greater than his master.’
If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed
my word, they will obey
yours too.
15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of
my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin.
But they no longer have any excuse for their sin.
15:23 The one who hates me hates my Father too.
15:24 If I had not performed
among them the miraculous deeds
that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.
But now they have seen the deeds
and have hated both me and my Father.
