40. And still you are not willing [but refuse] to come to Me, so that you might have life.
41. I receive not glory from men [I crave no human honor, I look for no mortal fame],
42. But I know you and recognize and understand that you have not the love of God in you.
43. I have come in My Father's name and with His power, and you do not receive Me [your hearts are not open to Me, you give Me no welcome]; but if another comes in his own name and his own power and with no other authority but himself, you will receive him and give him your approval.
44. How is it possible for you to believe [how can you learn to believe], you who [are content to seek and] receive praise and honor and glory from one another, and yet do not seek the praise and honor and glory which come from Him Who alone is God?
45. Put out of your minds the thought and do not suppose [as some of you are supposing] that I will accuse you before the Father. There is one who accuses you–it is Moses, the very one on whom you have built your hopes [in whom you trust].
46. For if you believed and relied on Moses, you would believe and rely on Me, for he wrote about Me [personally].
47. But if you do not believe and trust his writings, how then will you believe and trust My teachings? [How shall you cleave to and rely on My words?]
