Iesus sayth vnto them, If yee were Abrahams children, ye would doe the works of Abraham. 40But now yee seeke to kill me, a man that hath tolde you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41Ye doe the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not borne of fornication, wee haue one Father, euen God.
