John 8:39-47

“Our father is Abraham,” they replied. “If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did.   But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth   that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. You’re doing what your father does.”   “We weren’t born  of sexual immorality,”  they said. “We have one Father #— #God.”  Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,   because I came from God   and I am here. For I didn’t come on my own, but he sent me. Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to   my word.   You are of your father the devil,   and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer   from the beginning   and does not stand in the truth,   because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature,   because he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Who among you can convict me of sin?   If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”
