Jesus said to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come [from him]; for neither am I come of myself, but *he* has sent me.
43
Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
44
Ye are of the devil, as [your] father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:
45
and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
46
Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
47
He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48
The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?
49
Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
50
But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
51
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death.
52
The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death.
