(2) but at any rate the jews say that they, too, adore god. god forbid that i say that. no jew adores god! who say so? the son of god say so. for he said: "if you were to know my father, you would also know me. but you neither know me nor do you know my father". could i produce a witness more trustworthy than the son of god?
