John 8:42-54

⁴²Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me:

⁴³Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

⁴⁵But if I say the truth, you believe me not.

⁴⁶Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.

⁴⁸The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.

⁵⁰But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.

⁵²The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.

⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?

⁵⁴Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.
