Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of myself: but he sent me.
43
Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
44
You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
45
But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
46
Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me:
47
He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
48
The Jews therefore answered and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a devil?
49
Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father. And you have dishonoured me.
50
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51
Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.
52
The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.
