John 8:43-47 ▼

43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot listen to My word.

44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 But because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.

46 Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?

47 The one who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”
