Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
43
Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
45
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
46
Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
47
He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."

Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
50
And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
51
Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."
52
Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'
