39 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham`s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn`t do this.
41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you 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 don`t you understand my speech? Because you can`t hear my word.
44 You are of your Father, the devil, and it is your desire to do the lusts 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 of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don`t believe me.
