^38 (A)I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard ^(B)from your father.”

You Are of Your Father the Devil

³⁹ They answered him, ^(C)“Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, ^(D)“If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, ⁴⁰ but now ^(E)you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth ^(F)that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. ⁴¹ You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, ^(G)“We were not born of sexual immorality. We have ^(H)one Father—even God.” ⁴² Jesus said to them, ^(I)“If God were your Father, you would love me, for ^(J)I came from God and ^(K)I am here. ^(L)I came not of my own accord, but ^(M)he sent me.
