41 You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born as illegitimate children—we have one Father, God Himself!”
42 Yeshua said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for from God I came and now I am here. For I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.
43 Why don’t you understand My speech? Because you’re not able to hear 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 speaks lies he is just being himself—for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 “But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.
46 Which one of you convicts Me of sinning? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe Me?
47 He who belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you don’t hear is because you do not belong to God.”
