John 8:37
Douay-Rheims
I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Augustine of Hippo
(Tr. xlii. s. 3) As if to say, What art thou going to say against Abraham? They seem to be inviting Him to say something in disparagement of Abraham; and so to give them an opportunity of executing their purpose.
