John 5:36-40

³⁶But the evidence I'm giving is greater than John's. For I am doing the work that the Father gave me to do,

³⁷and this is the proof that the Father sent me. The Father who sent me, he himself speaks on my behalf. You've never heard his voice, and you've never seen what he looks like,

³⁸and you don't accept what he says, because you don't trust in the one he sent.

³⁹You search the Scriptures because you think that through them you'll gain eternal life. But the evidence they give is in support of me!

⁴⁰And yet you don't want to come to me so that you might live.
