John 8:41-48 You are practicing what your real father does." They said to Him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one Father, even God."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴¹ You are practicing what your real father does." They said to Him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one Father, even God." ⁴² Then Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. No, indeed, I have not come on my own authority, but He has sent me. ⁴³ Why is it that you misunderstand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to what I teach. ⁴⁴ You sprang from the devil, your real father, and you want to practice your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the very start, and he does not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks out of his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies. ⁴⁵ But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me. ⁴⁶ Who of you can prove me guilty of sin? But if I do tell you the truth, why do you not believe me? ⁴⁷ Whoever is sprung from God listens to what God says. This is why you do not listen to me: you are not sprung from God." ⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered Him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and are under the power of a demon?"
