John 8:39-42

39“Our father is Abraham!” they declared. “No,” Jesus replied, “for if you were really the children of Abraham, you would follow his example.

40Instead, you are trying to kill me because I told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

41No, you are imitating your real father.” They replied, “We aren’t illegitimate children! God himself is our true Father.”

42Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me.
