Abraham » How regarded by his descendants

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, behold, eighteen years, to be released from this bond on the sabbath?
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you cast out.
And Jesus said to him, To-day has salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;
They answered him, We are children of Abraham, and were never in servitude to any one; how say you, You shall become free? Jesus answered them, I tell you most truly, that every one who commits sin is a servant of the sin. But the servant continues not in the house for ever; the Son continues for ever. read more.
If, therefore, the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. I know that you are children of Abraham; but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you. What I have seen with my Father I speak, and you also do what you have heard from your father. They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham, you would have done the works of Abraham; but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this.

Jesus Christ » The words that jesus Christ spoke
The Spirit is that which makes alive; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he trims, that it may bear more fruit. You are now pure, by means of the word which I have spoken to you;
I know that you are children of Abraham; but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you. What I have seen with my Father I speak, and you also do what you have heard from your father. They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham, you would have done the works of Abraham; read more.
but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this. You do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born by fornication, we have one father, God. Jesus said to them, If God was your father you would have loved me; for I came forth and come from God; for I came not of myself, but he sent me. Why do you not understand my speech? because you cannot hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and stood not by the truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own; for he is a liar, and the father of him [that lies]. But because I tell you the truth you believe me not. Who of you convicts me of a sin? If I say the truth, why do you not believe me? He that is of God hears the words of God; you, therefore, hear not, because you are not of God.

And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me but on him that sent me; and he that beholds me beholds him that sent me. I have come a light into the world, that no one who believes in me should continue in darkness. read more.
And if any one hears my words and keeps them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world but to save the world. He that rejects me and receives not my words, has one that judges him; the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him at the last day.

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me. If you had known me you would have known my Father; and from this time you know him and have seen him. Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied. read more.
Jesus said to him, Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you I speak not of myself, but the Father continuing in me, he does the works.

Self-righteousness » Instances of » Pharisees
No one lights a candle and puts it in a secret place, or under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], but on a candlestick, that all who go in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye; when, therefore, your eye is sound, your whole body is light; but when your eye is evil, your whole body is dark. See, therefore, that the light which is in you be not darkness. read more.
If, therefore, your whole body is light, not having any part dark, the whole will be light, as when a candle lights you clearly. And when he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him; and he went in and immediately sat down. And the Pharisee seeing him, wondered that he was not first baptized before breakfast. And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and plate, but your inside is full of plunder and wickedness. Senseless men! did not he that made the outside make also the inside? But give the things within in charity, and behold, all things are pure to you. But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint, and rue, and every kind of plant, and omit justice and the love of God. These things you ought to do, and not to omit those. Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the first seat in the synagogues, and salutations in the markets. Woe to you! for you are like concealed tombs; and men walk over them and know it not. And one of the lawyers answered and said to him, Teacher, in saying these things you reproach us also. And he said, Woe to you, lawyers! for you load men with burdens difficult to be borne, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them; therefore you are witnesses, and approve the deed of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build. Therefore also the wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute, that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out since the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the house. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you do not enter in yourselves, and you forbid those entering. And when he had gone out thence the scribes and Pharisees were extremely angry, and questioned him on many subjects, watching him, to catch something from his mouth.

They answered him, We are children of Abraham, and were never in servitude to any one; how say you, You shall become free?

Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. But I seek not my glory; there is one that seeks and judges. I tell you most truly, if any one shall keep my word he shall never see death. The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If any one shall keep my word he shall never taste death. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom do you make yourself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, He is our God; and you have not known him, but I have known him; and if I should say I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I know him and keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day, and he saw, and was glad. Then the Jews said to him, You have not yet fifty years, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, that before Abraham existed, I am. Then they took up stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

They reproached him, and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses, but we know not whence this man is. The man answered and said to them, It is a strange thing, that you know not whence he is, and he has opened my eyes. read more.
We know that God hears not sinners; but if one is a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears. Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind; unless this man was from God he would have been able to do nothing. They answered and said to him, You were born entirely in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him without.

For this reason they could not believe, because, Isaiah said again, He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes and understand with their hearts, and be converted, and I should cure them.
