They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith 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 that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
41
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
42
Jesus said to 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.
44
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 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 of it.
45
And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
46
Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47
He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49
Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
