John 8:37-41 GNB I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me, because you will not accept my teaching. (38) I talk about what my Father has shown me, but you do what your father has told you." (39) They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." "If you really were Abraham's children," Jesus replied, "you would do the same things that he did. (40) All I have ever done is to tell you the truth I heard from God, yet you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like this! (41) You are doing what your father did." "God himself is the only Father we have," they answered, "and we are his true children."
John 8:37-41 ESV I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.

Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, (40) but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. (41) You are doing the works your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father--even God."
John 8:37-41 GW I know that you're Abraham's descendants. However, you want to kill me because you don't like what I'm saying. (38) What I'm saying is what I have seen in my Father's presence. But you do what you've heard from your father." (39) The Jews replied to Jesus, "Abraham is our father." Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did. (40) I am a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. But now you want to kill me. Abraham wouldn't have done that. (41) You're doing what your father does." The Jews said to Jesus, "We're not illegitimate children. God is our only Father."
John 8:37-41 LITV I know that you are Abraham's seed, but you seek to kill Me, because My Word is not given room in you. (38) I speak what I have seen with My Father. And you therefore do what you have seen with your father. (39) They answered and said to Him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham. (40) But now you seek to kill Me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I heard alongside of God. Abraham did not do this. (41) You do the works of your father. They said to Him, We were not born of fornication; we have one father, God.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
