John 5:39-47

3912You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is 3these that testify about Me;

40and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

414I do not receive glory from men;

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

43I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; 5if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

44How can you believe, when you 6receive 7glory from one another and you do not seek 8the 9glory that is from 10the one and only God?

45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is 11Moses, in whom you have set your hope.

46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for 12he wrote about Me.

47But 13if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
