John 8:43-44 Why do you not understand my speech? Because you are unable to listen to what I am saying.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴³ Why do you not understand my speech? Because you are unable to listen to what I am saying. ⁴⁴ You belong to your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires; he was a slayer of men from the very beginning, and he has no place in the truth because there is no truth in him: when he tells a lie, he is expressing his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
