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.

Jesus answered them, I have told you and you believe not; the works which I perform in my Father's name, these testify of me; but you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me, read more.
and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand. My Father who gave [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one.

Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a teacher of Israel and know not these things? I tell you most truly, that we speak what we know, and what we have seen we testify; and you receive not our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you believe not, how will you believe if I should tell you heavenly things?
Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you; walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be children of light. Jesus said these things, and went away and concealed himself from them. But though he had performed so many miracles before them they did not believe in him; read more.
that the word of Isaiah the prophet, which he spoke, might be fulfilled; Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 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. Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him. Nevertheless, many of the rulers believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogues; for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
