John 8:39 in Context — John 8
37 Je sais que vous êtes la postérité d’Abraham; mais vous cherchez à me faire mourir, parce que ma parole ne pénètre pas en vous.
38 Je dis ce que j’ai vu chez mon Père; et vous, vous faites ce que vous avez entendu de la part de votre père.
39 Ils lui répondirent: Notre père, c’est Abraham. Jésus leur dit: Si vous étiez enfants d’Abraham, vous feriez les œuvres d’Abraham.
40 Mais maintenant vous cherchez à me faire mourir, moiqui vous ai dit la vérité que j’ai entendue de Dieu. Cela, Abraham ne l’a point fait.
41 Vous faites les œuvres de votre père. Ils lui dirent: Nous ne sommes pas des enfants illégitimes; nous avons un seul Père, Dieu.
