John 8:43-45 Why is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴³ Why is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message. ⁴⁴ The devil is the father you are sprung from, and you want to carry out your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the first, and he has nothing to do with the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in his true character, for he is a liar and the father of them. ⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth you will not believe me.
