|I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
|I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
|
|I am aware that you are Abraham's descendants, but you are plotting to murder me because my message is fully and completely rejected by all of you.

|I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
|I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
|
|I speak only that which I have seen while at my Father's side, but you do that which you have heard coming from your Father."
|
|The witnesses are split on whether Jesus said "which you have heard" or "which you have seen". P75, Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, a later corrector or Alexandrinus, and Ephraemi Rescriptus say "heard," while P66, the original reading in Alexandrinus and Bezae Cantabrigiensis say "seen." Since P75 is considered more reliable than P66, and with the correction to Alexandrinus, it agrees with Sinaiticua and Vaticanus, the "heard" reading, which I use here, is considered more likely, although it is only graded a "C" in certainty by the UBS-4 textual committee ("A" being virtually certain, "B" meaning there is some doubt, "C" meaning a considerable degree of doubt, and "D" being a very high degree of doubt).

|They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
|
|They responded, "Abraham is our Father." To which Jesus replied, "If you were really Abraham's children, you would behave like Abraham.

|But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
|But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
|
|Instead, you are plotting to murder me, a man who has told you the Truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not behave like this.

|Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
|Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
|
|You behave like your father." They responded to Him, "We are not illegitimate children; we only have one Father, God."
