41 You do the works of your father." Therefore, they said to him: "We were not born out of fornication. We have one father: God."
42 Then Jesus said to them: "If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do you not recognize my speech? It is because you are not able to hear my word.
44 You are of your father, the devil. And you will carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. And he did not stand in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks it from his own self. For he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45 But if I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Which of you can convict me of sin? If I speak the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
47 Whoever is of God, hears the words of God. For this reason, you do not hear them: because you are not of God."
