John 8:42-47

⁴²"If God was your father," said Jesus, "you would love me, for I came from God and arrived here. I didn''t come on my own. He sent me.t

⁴³Why can''t you understand one word I say? Here''s why: You can''t handle it.

⁴⁴You''re from your father, the Devil, and all you want to do is please him. He was a killer from the very start. He couldn''t stand the truth because there wasn''t a shred of truth in him. When the Liar speaks, he makes it up out of his lying nature and fills the world with lies.u

⁴⁵I arrive on the scene, tell you the plain truth, and you refuse to have a thing to do with me.

⁴⁶Can any one of you convict me of a single misleading word, a single sinful act? But if I''m telling the truth, why don''t you believe me?

⁴⁷Anyone on God''s side listens to God''s words. This is why you''re not listening--because you''re not on God''s side."v
