John 5:37-45 Good News Bible (GNB)

37. And the Father, who sent me, also testifies on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his face,

38. and you do not keep his message in your hearts, for you do not believe in the one whom he sent.

39. You study the Scriptures, because you think that in them you will find eternal life. And these very Scriptures speak about me!

40. Yet you are not willing to come to me in order to have life.

41. “I am not looking for human praise.

42. But I know what kind of people you are, and I know that you have no love for God in your hearts.

43. I have come with my Father's authority, but you have not received me; when, however, someone comes with his own authority, you will receive him.

44. You like to receive praise from one another, but you do not try to win praise from the one who alone is God; how, then, can you believe me?

45. Do not think, however, that I am the one who will accuse you to my Father. Moses, in whom you have put your hope, is the very one who will accuse you.
