John 8:41-43

New Catholic Bible

⁴¹You are doing the works of your father!”

They retorted, “We are not illegitimate children. We have one father—God.” ⁴²Jesus said to them,

“If God were your father,
you would love me,
for I came from God;
neither did I come of my own will,
but he was the one who sent me.
⁴³Why do you not understand
what I am saying?
It is because you cannot bear
to hear my words.
