37I know that ye are Abraham`s seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

38I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.

39They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham`s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

41Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.

42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

43Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.
