John 8:35-43

³⁵And the bond-servant abideth not in the house for ever; the son abideth for ever.

³⁶If therefore the Son make you free, ye will be free indeed.

³⁷I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word is not received within you.

³⁸I speak what I have seen with the Father; and ye accordingly do what ye have seen with your father.

³⁹They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God; this did not Abraham.

⁴¹Ye do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.

⁴²Jesus said to them, If God were your father, ye would love me; for from God I proceeded forth and am come; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

⁴³Why do ye not understand my language? It is because ye cannot listen to my word.
