John 8:41-52

⁴¹You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”

⁴²Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

⁴³Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.

⁴⁴You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.

⁴⁵Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.

⁴⁶Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

⁴⁹Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

⁵⁰I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.

⁵¹Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵²The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
