John 8:38-47
38I speakG2980 of 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 as a resultG1537 of sexualG4202 immoralityG4202; 8we haveG2192 oneG1520 FatherG3962: GodG2316.” 42JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “IfG1487 GodG2316 were your FatherG3962, 9you would loveG25 Me, 10for I cameG1831 forthG1831 from GodG2316 and amG2240 hereG2240; for I have 11not evenG3761 comeG2064 12on My ownG1683, but 1314He sentG649 Me. 43WhyG1223G5101 do you not understandG1097 1516whatG2981 I am sayingG2981? It is becauseG3754 you cannotG1410G3756 17listenG191 to My wordG3056. 4418You are of 19your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, and 20you wantG2309 to doG4160 the desiresG1939 of your fatherG3962. 21He was a murdererG443 from the beginningG746, and does not standG4739 in the truthG225 becauseG3754 22there is noG3756 truthG225 in him. WheneverG3752 he tellsG2980 23a lieG5579, he 24speaksG2980 from his ownG2398 nature, becauseG3754 he is a liarG5583 and the fatherG3962 of 25liesG846. 45But becauseG3754 26I sayG3004 the truthG225, you do not believeG4100 Me. 46WhichG5101 oneG5101 of you convictsG1651 Me of sinG266? IfG1487 27I speakG3004 truthG225, whyG1223G5101 do you not believeG4100 Me? 4728The one who is of GodG2316 hearsG191 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316; for thisG3778 reasonG1223 you do not hearG191 them, becauseG3754 you are not of GodG2316.”
