John 8:40 in Context — John 8

38 Eu, o que vi junto a meu Pai, [isso] falo; e vós, o que também vistes junto a vosso pai [isso] fazeis.

39 Responderam, e lhe disseram: Nosso pai é Abraão. Disse-lhes Jesus: Se fôsseis filhos de Abraão, faríeis as obras de Abraão.

40 Porém agora procurais matar a mim, o homem que tenho vos falado a verdade que de Deus tenho ouvido; Abraão não fez isto.

41 Vós fazeis as obras de vosso pai.Disseram-lhe pois: Nós não somos nascidos de pecado sexual; nós temos um Pai: Deus.

42 Disse-lhes pois Jesus: Se Deus fosse vosso Pai, verdadeiramente me amaríeis; porque eu saí e venho de Deus; pois não vim de mim mesmo, porém ele me enviou.
