Bible verse
You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
John 5:39 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 5.
35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36 But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38 nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39 You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
40 yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41 I do not accept glory from men,
42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
