38. What I have seen in the presence of HaAv of me, of that, I make solemn declaration. Therefore, the things you have heard from your father you do.
39. They answered and said unto him, Avinu hu Avraham. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, If you were yeladim of Avraham, you would have been doing the ma'asei Avraham.
40. But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has told you HaEmes, which I heard from Hashem; this was not a ma'aseh that Avraham did. [TEHILLIM 15:2]
41. You are doing the ma'asim of your Av. They said, therefore, to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, We are not mamzerim who have been born of zenunim (fornication). We have Av Echad, Hashem. [Gn 38:24; Isa 63:16; 64:8; Mal 2:10; Dt 32:6].
42. He said to them, If Hashem were the Av of you, you would have had ahavah for me, for I came forth from Hashem, and now I am present here, for I have not come on my own, but HaAv sent me [Isa 55:11].
43. Why do you not understand my dvarim? Because you are not able to give obedient shemah (hearing) to my dvar.
44. You are from the Av of you, Hasatan [BERESHIS 3:4-5; TEHILLIM 58:4(3)], and the ta'avot of your Av you want to do, for that one was a rotze'ach from Bereshis, and he has not taken a stand in HaEmes, because HaEmes is not in him. When he speaks the sheker, he speaks naturally, because he is a shakran (liar) and the av of it. [Gn 3:4 2Ch 18:21; Ps 5:6; 12:2]
45. But because I speak HaEmes, you do not have bitachon (trust) in me.
46. Who among you convicts me of chet (sin)? If I speak HaEmes, why do you not have emunah in me?
47. The one who is of Hashem hears the divrei Hashem. Therefore, you do not hear because you are not of Hashem.
48. In reply, those of Yehudah said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Did we not rightly say that you are a Shomroni (Samaritan) and that you have a shed (demon)?
49. In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, I do not have a shed (demon). But I honor HaAv of me and you dishonor me.
50. But I do not seek my own kavod; there is One seeking and judging.
