John 5:36-40
The Voice
36 There’s another witness standing in My corner who is greater than John or any other man. The mission that brings Me here, and the things I am called to do, demonstrate the authenticity of My calling which comes directly from the Father. 37 In the act of sending Me, the Father has endorsed Me. None of you really knows the Father. You have never heard His voice or seen His profile. 38 His word does not abide in you because you do not believe in the One sent by the Father.
39 Here you are scouring through the Scriptures, hoping that you will find eternal life among a pile of scrolls. What you don’t seem to understand is that the Scriptures point to Me. 40 Here I am with you, and still you reject the truth contained in the law and prophets by refusing to come to Me so that you can have life.

New International Version
36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John.(A) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing(B)—testify that the Father has sent me.(C) 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.(D) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,(E) 38 nor does his word dwell in you,(F) for you do not believe(G) the one he sent.(H) 39 You study[a] the Scriptures(I) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.(J) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,(K) 40 yet you refuse to come to me(L) to have life.
