John 8:36-45

³⁶Therefore if the Son make you free, verily, ye shall be free.

³⁷I know that ye be Abraham’s sons, but ye seek to slay me, for my word taketh not in you.

³⁸I speak those things, that I saw at my Father; and ye do those things, that ye saw at your father.

³⁹They answered, and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye be the sons of Abraham, do ye the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰But now ye seek to slay me, a man that have spoken to you the truth, that I heard of God; Abraham did not this thing.

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

⁴²But Jesus saith to them, If God were your Father, soothly ye should love me; for I passed forth of God, or I proceeded, or came forth, of God, and came; for neither I came of myself, but he sent me.

⁴³Why know ye not my speech? for ye may not hear my word.

⁴⁴Ye be of the father, the devil, and ye will do the desires of your father. He was a manslayer from the begin-ning, and he stood not in truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaketh leasing, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and father of it.

⁴⁵But for I say truth, ye believe not to me.
