42. Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.
43. Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.
44. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45. But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.
46. Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
