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.
44 Nina ningabakayihlo uSathane, nithanda ukwenza izinkanuko zikayihlo. Yena wayengumbulali wabantu kwasekuqaleni, akemi eqinisweni, ngokuba iqiniso lingekho kuye. Nxa ekhuluma amanga, ukhuluma okungokwakhe, lokhu engumqambimanga noyise wawo.
