John 8:37-40

37I know that you are 1Abraham’s descendants; yet 2you seek to kill Me, because My word 3has no place in you. 38I speak the things which I have seen 4with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from 5your father.”

39They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is 6our father.” Jesus said to them, “7If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham. 40But as it is, 8you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has 9told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.
