39They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;` Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
40and now, ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
41ye do the works of your father.` They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have -- God;`
42Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
43wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44`Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.
45`And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
