John 5:45

“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father, etc.] To God the Father, as the Ethiopic version reads. The Syriac and Persic versions read by way of interrogation, “do ye think that I will?” etc. Christ is no accuser of men; no, not of the worst of men; (see <430810>John 8:10,11); he came not into the world to bring charges against men and condemn them, but to save them; to be an accuser is not agreeable to his characters of a Surety, a Saviour, an Advocate, and Judge: there were enough to accuse these persons of; as their perverseness and stubbornness, in not coming to Christ for life; their want of love to God; their rejection of him, though he came in his Father’s name; their…”

“There is one that accuseth you - By his writings. John 5:46”

“5:45-46 Jesus’ fifth and final witness was Moses, the founding father of Judaism. John had already compared Jesus with Moses (1:17; see also 6:14-15). The Jewish leaders were ignoring Moses’ clear words about the Messiah (e.g., Deut 18:15).”
