John 5:39-47
5:39 You study the scriptures thoroughly
because you think in them you possess eternal life,
and it is these same scriptures
that testify about me,
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.
5:46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
5:47 But if you do not believe what Moses wrote, how will you believe my words?”
