John 5:40

John 5:40

38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

39 ^aYou search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and ^bthese are they which testify of Me.

40 ^aBut you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

41 ^a“I do not receive honor from men.

42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

44 ^aHow can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek ^bthe honor that comes from the only God?

45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; ^athere is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust.

46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; ^afor he wrote about Me.

<< John 5:39

John 5:41 >>

And ye will not come to me - Though ye thus search the Scriptures, in hopes of finding the Messiah and eternal life in them, yet ye will not come unto me, believe in me, and be my disciples, though so clearly pointed out by them, that ye may have that eternal life which can only come through me.
