But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham — the specific accusation is clear: they seek to kill Jesus, a man who has told them truth from God. Abraham would not do this; he listened to God and obeyed. The murder of Jesus is the antithesis of Abrahamic faith. It proves that the authorities are not Abraham's children, regardless of their genealogy. They have heard God's word (Jesus) but refused to believe it.
