John 8:38-44
38I speakG2980 the things whichG3739 I have seenG3708 1with My FatherG3962; thereforeG3767 you alsoG2532 doG4160 the things whichG3739 you heardG191 from 2your fatherG3962.”
39They answeredG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “AbrahamG11 is 3our fatherG3962.” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “4IfG1487 you are Abraham’sG11 childrenG5043, doG4160 the deedsG2041 of AbrahamG11. 40But as it is, 5you are seekingG2212 to killG615 Me, a manG444 whoG3739 has 6toldG2980 you the truthG225, whichG3739 I heardG191 from GodG2316; thisG3778 AbrahamG11 did not doG4160. 41You are doingG4160 the deedsG2041 of 7your fatherG3962.” They saidG3004 to Him, “We were not bornG1080 of fornicationG4202; 8we haveG2192 oneG1520 FatherG3962: GodG2316.” 42JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “IfG1487 GodG2316 were your FatherG3962, 9you would loveG25 Me, 10for I proceededG1831 forthG1831 and haveG2240 comeG2240 from GodG2316, for I have 11not evenG3761 comeG2064 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683, but 1213He sentG649 Me. 43WhyG1223G5101 do you not understandG1097 1415whatG2981 I am sayingG2981? It is becauseG3754 you cannotG1410G3756 16hearG191 My wordG3056. 4417You are of 18your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, and 19you wantG2309 to doG4160 the desiresG1939 of your fatherG3962. 20He was a murdererG443 from the beginningG746, and does not standG4739 in the truthG225 becauseG3754 21there is noG3756 truthG225 in him. WheneverG3752 he speaksG2980 22a lieG5579, he 23speaksG2980 from his ownG2398 nature, for he is a liarG5583 and the fatherG3962 of 24liesG846.
