John 8:43-53

43 "Why * do you not understand ¹what I am saying? It is because you cannot * ²hear My word.

44 "³You are of ⁴your father the devil, and ⁵you want to do the desires of your father. ⁶He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because ⁷there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he ⁸speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 "But because ⁹I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.

46 "Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If ¹⁰I speak truth, why * do you not believe Me?

47 "¹¹He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God."

48 ¹²The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a ¹³Samaritan and ¹⁴have a demon?"

49 Jesus answered, "I do not ¹⁵have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

50 "But ¹⁶I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

51 "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone ¹⁷keeps My word he will never * ¹⁸see death."

52 ¹⁹The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You ²⁰have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone ²¹keeps My word, he will never * ²²taste of death.'

53 "Surely You ²³are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?"
