John 8:38-48

³⁸I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father.

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

⁴⁰but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.

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

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

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

⁴⁴Ye are of the devil, as your father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:

⁴⁵and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?
