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. 1) The Jews had asserted they were free, because they were Abraham’s seed. Our Lord replies, I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; as if to say, I know that ye are the sons of Abraham, but according to the flesh, not spiritually and by faith. So He adds, But ye seek to kill Me.
