37 Ngiyazi ukuthi niyinzalo ka-Abrahama; kepha nifuna ukungibulala, ngokuba izwi lami lingenandawo kini.
38 Ngikhuluma lokho engikubonile mina kuBaba; nani-ke nenza lokho enikuzwile kuyihlo.”
39 Baphendula, bathi kuye: “Ubaba ngu-Abrahama.”UJesu wathi kubo: “Uma beningabantwana baka-Abrahama; beniyakwenza imisebenzi ka-Abrahama.
40 Kodwa kalokhu nifuna ukungibulala mina muntu onitshele iqiniso, engilizwe kuNkulunkulu; u-Abrahama kakwenzanga lokho.
41 Nina nenza imisebenzi kayihlo.”Bathi kuye: “Thina asizalwanga ngokuphinga; sinobaba munye, uNkulunkulu.”
42 Wathi kubo uJesu: “Uma uNkulunkulu ebenguyihlo, beniyakungithanda mina, ngokuba ngafika ngivela kuNkulunkulu; ngokuba angizizelanga ngokwami, kepha yena ungithumile.
43 Yini ukuba ningayizwisisi inkulumo yami na? Kungokuba aninakuzwa izwi lami.
