In context

37I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.

38I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”

39“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.

40But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

41You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
