John 8:38-44

³⁸I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father.

³⁹They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto 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 told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

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

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

⁴³Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
