43 Why do you⁺ not understand what I am saying? It is because you⁺ are unable to accept My message.

44 You⁺ belong to your⁺ father, the devil {diabolou}, and you⁺ want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father {patēr} of lies.

45 But because I speak the truth, you⁺ do not believe Me!

46 Which of you⁺ can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you⁺ not believe Me?

47 Whoever belongs to God {Theou} hears the words {rhēmata} of God. The reason you⁺ do not hear is that you⁺ do not belong to God.
