Jesus saith to them, "If ye are children of Abraham, ye are doing the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye are seeking to kill Me, a Man Who hath told you the truth, which I heard from My Father: this Abraham did not. 41 Ye do the works of your father." They say to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God." 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, ye would love Me; for I came forth, and have come from, God; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do ye not understand My speech? it is because ye cannot hear My word. 44 Ye are of your father the Devil; and the desires of your father ye wish to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; because he is a liar, and the father of it.
