John 5:33-46

³³As for you, when you sent messengers to John the Baptizer to ask about me, he told the truth about me.

³⁴I do not need that people tell others about me. But instead, I am reminding you about what John told people about me, in order that you will believe it and be saved { God will save you}.

³⁵John's message about me (OR, John) MET was like a lamp that shines brightly. For a short while you were willing to be made happy by that message {to let that message make you happy}.

³⁶But there is something else that tells you about me. It should prove who I am more than what John said about me. The miracles PRS that my Father told me to do, the miracles that I am performing, show (OR, prove) to people that my Father sent me.

³⁷Furthermore, my Father, who sent me, tells people about me. You have never heard his voice or seen him.

³⁸Furthermore, you have not believed in me, the one he sent. So you have not believed his message in your inner beings.

³⁹You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by studying them you will find the way to have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me!

⁴⁰But you refuse ◄to come to me/to believe my message► in order that you may have eternal life.

⁴¹It does not matter to me whether people praise me.

⁴²But you want people to praise you. I know that within yourselves you do not love God.

⁴³Although I have come to earth with my Father's authority MTY, you do not accept me. But if someone else comes with his own authority MTY, you accept him!

⁴⁴You accept your praising each other, but you do not try to do things that will result in God himself praising you. So ◄there is no way you can believe in me!/how can you believe my message?► RHQ

⁴⁵But do not think that I am the one who will accuse you while my Father is listening! No, it is Moses who will accuse you! You thought that he would defend you.

⁴⁶Moses wrote about me, so if you had believed what he wrote, you would have believed what I said
