37 Ndiyazi ukuba niyimbewu ka-Abraham; ke nifuna ukundibulala, ngokuba ilizwi lam lingenakuhamba kuni.
38 Mna ndithetha endikubonileyo kuBawo; nani ke nenza enikubonileyo kuyihlo.
39 Aphendula athi kuye, Ubawo thina nguAbraham. Athi kuwo uYesu, Ukuba nibe ningabantwana baka-Abraham, ninge niyenza imisebenzi ka-Abraham.
40 Kaloku ke, nifuna ukubulala mna, mntu unixelele inyaniso endayiva kuThixo; àkakwenzanga oko uAbraham.
41 Nina nenza imisebenzi yooyihlo.Athi ngoko kuye, Thina asizelwe ngabuhenyu, sinaBawo mnye, uThixo.
42 Uthe ke uYesu kuwo, Ukuba uThixo ebenguYihlo, ninge nindithanda; kuba mna ndaphuma kuThixo, ndifikile ke; kuba andizanga ngokwam, nguye owandithumayo.
43 Kungani na ukuba ningayiqondi intetho yam? Kungokuba ningenakuliva ilizwi lam.
