41 You are doing the deeds of your father!” They said to him, “We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.
43 Why do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message.
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 But because I am telling the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 The one who is from God listens to the words of God. Because of this you do not listen—because you are not of God.”
