"I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father." "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do what Abraham did. As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things."
I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence
John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does."
John 5:30 "By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me."
John 14:10 "Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work."
John 14:24 "Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me."
and you are doing what you have heard from your father
John 8:41 "You are doing the works of your own father." "We are not illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God himself."
John 8:44 "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
If you were Abraham's children
John 8:37 "I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word."
Luke 3:8 "Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham."
Galatians 3:7-8 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18)
you are looking for a way to kill me
Matthew 12:14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
a man who has told you the truth I heard from God
John 8:26 "I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world."
