Exodus 32:7-14

7 Then the Lord said to Moses, Go down to your people, whom you brought from Egypt.

8 They are following, they have put themselves in a metal calf, worshiped it and sacrificed it, saying, "O Israel, this is your God who brought you here from Egypt!" '

9 Then the Lord said to Moses, 'I know these people; I know how stubborn they are!

10 Now leave me now, that my anger can burn on them and I can destroy them! I will make a great nation instead of you. '

11 Moses tried to calm down his God, and said, 'Why should you be angry with your power and powerful hand?'

12 Why should the Egyptians say, "He brought them out with evil, to destroy them," give them to your burning anger! Fall on this people

13 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whom you named Abraham, Isaac, and Yacob, and said, "I will give it to you." For his descendants, and it will forever be his legacy "

14 Then the Lord overcame the calamity that he had imposed on his people.

Psalms 106:19-20, 21-22, 23

19 He made a calf in hareb, and bowed before the cast metal;

20th

21 They forgot God who was successful in Egypt,

22 such miracles in the country of Ham, such as the terrible work in the Reeds Sea

23 He thought that his chosen Moses, his chosen Moses did not, then he broke and faced him.

John 5:31-47

31 Were I to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be true;

32 but there is another witness who speaks on my behalf, and I know that his testimony is true.

33 You sent messengers to John, and he gave his testimony to the truth-

34 not that I depend on human testimony; no, it is for your salvation that I mention it.

35 John was a lamp lit and shining and for a time you were content to enjoy the light that he gave.

36 But my testimony is greater than John's: the deeds my Father has given me to perform, these same deeds of mine testify that the Father has sent me.

37 Besides, the Father who sent me bears witness to me himself. You have never heard his voice, you have never seen his shape,

38 and his word finds no home in you because you do not believe in the one whom he has sent.

39 You pore over the scriptures, believing that in them you can find eternal life; it is these scriptures that testify to me,

40 and yet you refuse to come to me to receive life!

41 Human glory means nothing to me.

42 Besides, I know you too well: you have no love of God in you.

43 I have come in the name of my Father and you refuse to accept me; if someone else should come in his own name you would accept him.

44 How can you believe, since you look to each other for glory and are not concerned with the glory that comes from the one God?

45 Do not imagine that I am going to accuse you before the Father: you have placed your hopes on Moses, and Moses will be the one who accuses you.

46 If you really believed him you would believe me too, since it was about me that he was writing;

47 but if you will not believe what he wrote, how can you believe what I say?
