They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word. I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.” “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do what Abraham did. As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”
Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
