John 8:43-47 ▼

43 Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to my word.

44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

46 Who among you can convict me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?

47 The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”
