39 You search the Scriptures, because you think you will find eternal life in them. The Scriptures tell about me,
40 but you refuse to come to me for eternal life.
41 I don't care about human praise,
42 but I do know that none of you love God.
43 I have come with my Father's authority, and you have not welcomed me. But you will welcome people who come on their own.
44 How could you possibly believe? You like to have your friends praise you, and you don't care about praise that the only God can give!
45 Don't think that I will be the one to accuse you to the Father. You have put your hope in Moses, yet he is the very one who will accuse you.
