John 8:44-49 The devil is your father, and the desires of your father you will gratify: he was a manslayer from the beginning; he swerved from the truth, because there was no veracity in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks suitably to his character; for he is a liar, and the father of lying.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁴ The devil is your father, and the desires of your father you will gratify: he was a manslayer from the beginning; he swerved from the truth, because there was no veracity in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks suitably to his character; for he is a liar, and the father of lying. ⁴⁵ As for me, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. ⁴⁶ Who of you convicts me of falsehood? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe me? ⁴⁷ He who is of God, regards God's words. You regard them not, because you are not of God. ⁴⁸ The Jews then answered, Have we not reason to say, You are a Samaritan, and have a demon? ⁴⁹ Jesus replied, I have not a demon: but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
