John 8:37–45
37I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.↗
38I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”↗
39They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them,“If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.↗
40But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.↗
41You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”↗
42Therefore 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.↗
43Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.↗
44You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.↗
45But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.↗
