"If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God.

He was a man-slayer from the very beginning; and he has no standing place in the truth, because truth is not in him.

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?"
