Use of Tener de
2

In the Bible, John 5:45, there is a phrase that says "No penséis que Yo os tengo de acusar delante del Padre". I don't understand the usage of tengo de. In English this verse is something like "Don't think that I will accuse you before the Father". I'm not looking for another English translation, I'm looking for the "sabor" of this passage in Spanish. Why is tengo (tener) used in this manner?
Gracias.

It's not really familiar to me, those books sometimes use weird redaction.
