John 5:36-40

36But it is not only John who shows who I am. There are other things that show it more strongly. My Father has given work to me so that I could finish it. These are the things that I do, and they show who I am. They show clearly that the Father has sent me.

37Also, the Father himself has spoken about me. You have never heard his voice. And you have never seen his shape.

38I am the one that he has sent. You do not receive his message because you do not believe in me.

39You study carefully what the Bible teaches. You think that those books will give you life with God. And it is true, those books do speak about who I am.

40But then you refuse to come to me so that you may have life with God!
