John 8:42
But Jesus saith to them, If God were your Father, soothly ye should love me; for I passed forth of God, [or forsooth I proceeded, or came forth, of God], and came (here); for neither I came of myself, but he sent me. (But Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, truly ye would love me, for I came forth from God, and came here; yea, I did not come here on my own accord, but he sent me.)
