Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues speaking to the Jews.
my word has no place in you
Here "word" is a metonym for the "teachings" or "message" of Jesus, which the Jewish leaders do not accept. AT: "you do not accept my teachings" or "you do not allow my message to change your life" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
I say what I have seen with my Father
"I am telling you about the things I saw when I was with my Father"
you also do what you heard from your father
The Jewish leaders do not understand that by "your father" Jesus is referring to the devil. AT: "you also continue doing what your father has told you to do."
