John
8
39
They answered him, "Abraham is our father!" Jesus replied, "If you are Abraham's children, you would be doing the deeds of Abraham.
40
But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!
41
You people are doing the deeds of your father." Then they said to Jesus, "We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself."
42
Jesus replied, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here. I have not come on my own initiative, but he sent me.
43
Why don't you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot accept my teaching.
44
You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45
But because I am telling you the truth, you do not believe me.
46
Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?
47
The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God's words. You don't listen and respond, because you don't belong to God."
