37. And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time,
38. nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.
39. You study the scriptures thoroughly because you think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me,
40. but you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
41. “I do not accept praise from people,
42. but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43. I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
