John 8:40-42

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁰But 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.
⁴¹You are doing the works of your father!”

They retorted, “We are not illegitimate children. We have one father—God.” ⁴²Jesus 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.
