John 8:40-42
New Catholic Bible
40 But now you seek to kill me,
a man who has told you the truth
that I heard from God.
This is not what Abraham did.
41 You are doing the works of your father!”
They retorted, “We are not illegitimate children. We have one father—God.” 42 Jesus said to them,
“If God were your father,
you would love me,
for I came from God;
neither did I come of my own will,
but he was the one who sent me.
John 8:40-42

42 Jesus said to them, (D)“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for (E)I proceeded forth and came from God; (F)nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
