John 8:41-48

MNT(i) 41 "You are doing the deeds of your father." "We were not born of adultery," they said; "we have one Father, God." 42 Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me. 43 "How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to my message. 44 "You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a man-slayer from the very beginning; and he has no standing place in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he utters a lie, he speaks from his nature, for he is a liar and the father of lying. 45 "But as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me. 46 "Which one of you convicts me of sin? Why then, if I am speaking the truth, do you not believe me? 47 "He who is from God listens to God's words. For this reason you do not listen, because you are not from God." 48 In reply the Jews said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and you also have a demon?"
