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. 40But 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. 41You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God. 42Jesus 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. 43Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. 44You 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. 45But if I say the truth, you believe me not. 46Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me: 47He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
