John 8:43-53

43 Why know ye not my speech? for ye be not able to hear my word.
44 Ye be of the father, the devil, and ye will do the desires of your father. He was a manslayer from the beginning, and he stood not in truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaketh lying [When he speaketh a lying], he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and father of it.
45 But for I say truth, ye believe not to me.
46 Who of you shall reprove me of sin? if I say truth, why believe ye not to me?
47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God; therefore ye hear not, for ye be not of God.
48 Therefore the Jews answered, and said [to him], Whether we say not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, and said, I have not a devil, but I honour my Father, and ye have unhonoured me.
50 For I seek not my glory; there is he, that seeketh, and deemeth.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end. [Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man shall keep my word, he shall not see, or taste, death into without end.]
52 Therefore the Jews said, Now we have known, 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 without end [he shall not taste death into without end].
53 Whether thou art greater than our father Abraham, that is dead, and the prophets be dead; whom makest thou thyself?
