37
I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.
39
They answered and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith 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.
44
You 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.
45
But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
46
Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me:
47
He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
