41
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
42
Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

45
But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me.
46
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God."

49
Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
