Greek Commentary for John 8:41
Who is not Abraham and not God as Jesus plainly indicates. We were not born of fornication First aorist passive indicative of γενναω gennaō This they said as a proud boast. Jesus had admitted that they were physical (Deuteronomy 23:2) descendants of Abraham (John 8:37), but now denies that they are spiritual children of Abraham (like Paul in Romans 9:7). Πορνεια Porneia is from πορνος pornos (harlot) and that from περνημι pernēmi to sell, a woman who sells her body for sexual uses. It is vaguely possible that in this stern denial the Pharisees may have an indirect fling at Jesus as the bastard son of Mary (so Talmud). We have one Father, even God No “even” in the Greek, “One Father we have, God.” This in direct reply to the implication of Jesus (John 8:38) that God was not their spiritual Father. [source]
Or, are doing. [source]

Third-class condition with εαν ean and first aorist active subjunctive (or future active indicative) of δοχαζω doxazō It is my Father that glorifieth me The position and accent of εστιν estin mean: “Actually my Father is the one,” etc. Of whom ye say The accusative of the person Your God So Aleph B D and apparently correct, though A C L W Delta Theta have ημων hēmōn (our God). The οτι hoti can be taken as recitative (direct quotation, ημων hēmōn our) or declarative (indirect, that, and so υμων humōn). The Jews claimed God as their peculiar national God as they had said in John 8:41. So Jesus turns this confession and claim against them. [source]
