In context
39 Walijibu na kumwambia, “Baba yetu ni Abrahamu.” Yesu akawaambia, Kama mngelikuwa watoto wa Ibrahimu, mngefanya kazi za Ibrahimu.
40 Hata sasa mnatafuta kuniua, mtu aliyewaambia ukweli kwamba nilisikia kutoka kwa Mungu. Abrahamu hakufanya hivi.
41 Mnafanya kazi za baba yenu.” Wakamwambia, “Hatukuzaliwa katika uzinzi, tunaye Baba mmoja, Mungu.”
42 Yesu akawaambia, “Ikiwa Mungu ni Baba yenu, mngenipenda mimi, kwa maana nimetoka kwa Mungu; wala sikuja kwa nafsi yangu, bali yeye alinituma.
43 Kwa nini hamyaelewi maneno yangu? Kwa sababu hamuwezi kuvumilia kuyasikia maneno yangu.
44 Ninyi ni wa baba yenu, shetani, na mnataka kuzitenda tamaa za baba yenu. Alikuwa mwuaji tangu mwanzo na hawezi kusimama katika kweli kwa sababu kweli haimo ndani yake. Anapoongea uongo, anaongea kutoka kwenye asili yake kwa sababu ni mwongo na baba wa uongo.
45 Hata sasa, kwa sababu ninasema iliyo kweli, hamniamini.
