John 8:38-47

38I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father.

39They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham;

40but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from 1God: this did not Abraham.

41Ye do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, 2God.

42Jesus said to them, If 3God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from 4God and am come [from him]; for neither am I come of myself, but he has sent me.

43Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.

44Ye are of the devil, as [your] father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:

45and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.

46Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?

47He that is of 5God hears the words of 6God: therefore ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of 7God.
