5:36 “But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds 1 that the Father has assigned me to complete – the deeds 2 I am now doing – testify about me that the Father has sent me. 5:37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people 3 have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time, 4 5:38 nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent. 5:39 You study the scriptures thoroughly 5 because you think in them you possess eternal life, 6 and it is these same scriptures 7 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 8 praise 9 from people, 10 5:42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God 11 within you. 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept 12 me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept 13 him. 5:44 How can you believe, if you accept praise 14 from one another and don’t seek the praise 15 that comes from the only God? 16
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. 17 5:46 If 18 you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. 5:47 But if you do not believe what Moses 19 wrote, how will you believe my words?”
