^{41 Ref} I do not take honour from men;

^{42 Ref} But I have knowledge of you that you have no love for God in your hearts.

^{43 Ref} I have come in my Father's name, and your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.

^{44 Ref} How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?

^{45 Ref} Put out of your minds the thought that I will say things against you to the Father: the one who says things against you is Moses, on whom you put your hopes.

^{46 Ref} If you had belief in Moses you would have belief in me; for his writings are about me.

^{47 Ref} If you have no belief in his writings, how will you have belief in my words?
