John 5:34-40

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.
