John 8:39-43 in English

³⁹ They 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.

⁴⁰ But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

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

⁴² Jesus 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.

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

³⁹ They answered, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus told them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham,

⁴⁰ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We weren’t born of fornication. We have one Father — God.”

⁴² Jesus said, “If God were your Father, you would sincerely love me, for I came from God, and now am here. I haven’t come of my own initiative, but He sent me.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand what I say? It’s because you can’t accept my words.

³⁹ They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

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

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

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

³⁹ They 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.

⁴⁰ But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

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

⁴² Jesus 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.

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

³⁹ They replied to him, “Abraham is our ancestor.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's descendants, your character would be like Abraham's character, and you would do good things like Abraham did.

⁴⁰ I have been telling you the truth that I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did not do things like that.

⁴¹ No! You are doing the things that your real father does.” They said to him, “ We do not know about you, but we are not illegitimate children. And spiritually, we have only one Father. That is God, and you do not know who your father is!”

⁴² Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, because I came from God, and now I have come here to this world. My coming was not ◄because I appointed myself/with my own authority►. He sent me.

⁴³ ◄And I will tell you why you do not understand what I say./Do you know why you do not understand what I say?► RHQ It is because you do not want to accept my message.

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

³⁹ In 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.

⁴⁰ But 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.

⁴¹ You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

⁴² Jesus 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.

⁴³ Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.

³⁹ They 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;

⁴⁰ but 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.

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

⁴² Jesus 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.

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

³⁹ They 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.

⁴⁰ But 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.

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

⁴² Jesus 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:

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

³⁹ They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has spoken to you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would have loved Me, for I came forth and have come from God; nor have I come from Myself, but He sent Me.

⁴³ Why do you not understand what I say? Because you are unable to hear My word.

³⁹ They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham!” Jesus says to them: “If you were children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham;

⁴⁰ but now you are wanting to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This sort of thing Abraham did not do!

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”

⁴² So Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came forth from God and I am here. Further, I have not come on my own, but He sent me.

⁴³ Why don't you understand what I say?—because you are not able to really hear my word.

³⁹ “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you really were children of Abraham, you'd do what Abraham did,” Jesus told them.

⁴⁰ “But you are trying to kill me now, because I told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would never have done that.

⁴¹ You're doing what your father does.” “Well we are not illegitimate,” they responded. “God alone is our father!”

⁴² Jesus replied, “If God really was your father, you would love me. I came from God and now I am here. The decision to come wasn't mine, but the one who sent me.

⁴³ Why can't you understand what I'm saying? It's because you refuse to hear my message!

³⁹ They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.

⁴¹ Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.

⁴³ Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.

³⁹ They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death — a man who has told you the truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.

⁴¹ You are doing what your own father does.” “We are not bastards,” they said, “we have one Father — God himself.”

⁴² “If God were your Father,” Jesus replied, “you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his messenger.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham Father of a multitude didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·.” They said to him, “We were not born of porhneia ·sexual immorality·; we have one Abba Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Yeshua Salvation said to them, “If God were your Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, you would have agapao ·total devotion love· towards me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
