You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires.

John 8:49

Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?

Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"

John 8:54

Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.
