John 5:38 in Context — John 5

36 Mas yo tengo mayor testimonio que [el] de Juan: porque las obras que el Padre me dió que cumpliese, las mismas obras que yo hago, dan testimonio de mí, que el Padre me haya enviado.

37 Y el que me envió, el Padre, él ha dado testimonio de mí. Ni nunca habéis oído su voz, ni habéis visto su parecer.

38 Ni tenéis su palabra permanente en vosotros; porque al que él envió, á éste vosotros no creéis.

39 Escudriñad las Escrituras, porque á vosotros os parece que en ellas tenéis la vida eterna; y ellas son las que dan testimonio de mí.

40 Y no queréis venir á mí, para que tengáis vida.
