John 8:37-44

³⁷I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

³⁸I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.

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

⁴⁰But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.

⁴¹You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.

⁴²Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me:

⁴³Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
