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.
53
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
