40 But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!
41 You people are doing the deeds of your father.”Then they said to Jesus, “We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself.”
42 Jesus replied, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here. I have not come on my own initiative, but he sent me.
43 Why don’t you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot accept my teaching.
44 You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 But because I am telling you the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me?
