John 8:42-52

42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, ¹you would love Me, ²for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have ³not even come on My own initiative, but ⁴He sent Me.

43 "Why * do you not understand ⁵what I am saying? It is because you cannot * ⁶hear My word.

44 "⁷You are of ⁸your father the devil, and ⁹you want to do the desires of your father. ¹⁰He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because ¹¹there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he ¹²speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 "But because ¹³I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.

46 "Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If ¹⁴I speak truth, why * do you not believe Me?

47 "¹⁵He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God."

48 ¹⁶The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a ¹⁷Samaritan and ¹⁸have a demon?"

49 Jesus answered, "I do not ¹⁹have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

50 "But ²⁰I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

51 "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone ²¹keeps My word he will never * ²²see death."

52 ²³The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You ²⁴have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone ²⁵keeps My word, he will never * ²⁶taste of death.'
