38 So you don’t have the Father’s message within you, because you don’t believe in the person he has sent.
39 You study the Scriptures in detail because you think you have the source of eternal life in them. These Scriptures testify on my behalf.
40 Yet, you don’t want to come to me to get ⌊eternal⌋ life.
41 “I don’t accept praise from humans.
42 But I know what kind of people you are. You don’t have any love for God.
43 I have come with the authority my Father has given me, but you don’t accept me. If someone else comes with his own authority, you will accept him.
44 How can you believe when you accept each other’s praise and don’t look for the praise that comes from the only God?
