John 5:39 in Context — John 5
37 Et le Père qui m’a envoyé a rendu lui-même témoignage de moi. Vous n’avez jamais entendu sa voix,vous n’avez point vu sa face,
38 et sa parole ne demeure point en vous, parce que vous ne croyez pas à celui qu’il a envoyé.
39 Vous sondez les Écritures, parce que vous pensez avoir en elles la vie éternelle:ce sont elles qui rendent témoignage de moi.
40 Et vous ne voulez pas venir à moi pour avoir la vie!
41 Je ne tire pas ma gloire des hommes.
