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.

42 Jésus leur dit: Si Dieu était votre Père, vous m’aimeriez, car c’est de Dieu que je suis sorti et que je viens;je ne suis pas venu de moi-même, mais c’est lui qui m’a envoyé.
