39In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.
40But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.
41You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.
42Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.
43Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.
