John 8:40
8:40 But now you are trying
to kill me, a man who has told you
the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!
John 8:44-49
8:44 You people
are from
your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires.
He
was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth,
because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies,
he speaks according to his own nature,
because he is a liar and the father of lies.
8:45 But because I am telling you
the truth, you do not believe me.
8:46 Who among you can prove me guilty
of any sin?
If I am telling you
the truth, why don’t you believe me?
8:47 The one who belongs to
God listens and responds
to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond,
because you don’t belong to God.”
8:48 The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?”
8:49 Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father – and yet you dishonor me.
