John 8:40-42

Living Bible

⁴⁰ But instead you are trying to kill me—and all because I told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham wouldn’t do a thing like that! ⁴¹ No, you are obeying your real father when you act that way.”

They replied, “We were not born out of wedlock—our true Father is God himself.”

⁴² Jesus told them, “If that were so, then you would love me, for I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me.
