and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.
but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
“I do not receive glory from men;
so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
“I do not receive glory from men;
“How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?
“But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.

“But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.

“I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
“Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.
“For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.
“But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;
He answered them, “I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?”
