John 8:43-48 in English

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

⁴⁵ But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁴³ Why don’t you understand what I say? It’s because you can’t accept my words.

⁴⁴ You are of your father, the Devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ Because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe me?

⁴⁷ Whoever is from God hears God’s words. The reason you don’t hear them is that you aren’t from God.”

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and asked Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

⁴⁵ But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴³ ◄And I will tell you why you do not understand what I say./Do you know why you do not understand what I say?► RHQ It is because you do not want to accept my message.

⁴⁴ You belong to your father, ◄the devil/Satan►, and you desire to do what he wants. He has caused people to become murderers from the time when people first sinned. He has abandoned God's truth because he is a liar by his nature. Whenever he lies, he is speaking according to his nature, because he is a liar and is the one who originates MET all lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!

⁴⁶ Since I have never sinned, ◄none of you can show that I have sinned./can anyone among you show that I have sinned?► RHQ So, since I tell you the truth, ◄there is no good reason for your not believing me!/why is it that you do not believe me?► RHQ

⁴⁷ Those who belong to God habitually obey God's message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”

⁴⁸ The Jewish leaders SYN replied to him, “◄We are certainly right by saying that you believe what is false as the Samaritans do!/Are we not right by saying that you believe what is false as the Samaritans do?► RHQ And that ◄a demon/an evil spirit► controls you!”

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

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

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

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

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

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

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴³ Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.

⁴⁴ You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

⁴⁵ But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

⁴⁶ Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

⁴⁷ He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

⁴⁸ The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

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

⁴⁴ Ye are of the devil, as your father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:

⁴⁵ and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?

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

⁴⁴ You 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.

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

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

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

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

⁴³ Why do you not understand what I say? Because you are unable to hear My word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well that You are a Samaritan, and You have a demon?”

⁴³ Why don't you understand what I say?—because you are not able to really hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and it is the desires of your father that you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar and the father of lying.

⁴⁵ But since I speak the truth you do not believe me.

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

⁴⁷ The one who is of God hears God's words; that is why you do not hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon—are we wrong?”

⁴³ Why can't you understand what I'm saying? It's because you refuse to hear my message!

⁴⁴ Your father is the Devil, and you love to follow your father's evil desires. He was a murderer from the beginning. He never stood for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies he reveals his true character, for he's a liar and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ So because I tell you the truth, you don't believe me!

⁴⁶ Can any one of you prove that I'm guilty of sin? If I'm telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?

⁴⁷ Anyone who belongs to God listens to what God says. The reason you don't listen is because you don't belong to God.”

⁴⁸ “Aren't we right to call you a Samaritan who is demon-possessed?” said the Jews.

⁴³ Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my language? It is because ye cannot listen to my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the Devil, and what your father desireth ye are ready to do. He was a murderer from the beginning; and he abideth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁴⁵ But because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I speak truth, Why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth God's words; for this cause ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁴³ How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

⁴⁴ As for you, you are children of your Father the devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.

⁴⁵ But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then don't you believe me, if I am speaking truth?

⁴⁷ The person who comes from God listens to God's teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.”

⁴⁸ “Aren't we right, after all,” replied the people, “in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?”

⁴³ How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

⁴⁶ Who of you shall reprove me of sin? if I say (the) truth, why believe ye not to me? (Who of you can prove me guilty of sin? or can convict me of sin? if I speak the truth, then why do ye not believe me?)

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth the words of God; therefore ye hear not, (or and so ye cannot hear, or and so ye will not listen), for ye be not of God.

⁴³ Whi knowen ye not my speche? for ye moun not here my word.

⁴⁴ Ye ben of the fadir, the deuel, and ye wolen do the desyris of youre fadir. He was a mansleere fro the bigynnyng, and he stood not in treuthe; for treuthe is not in hym. Whanne he spekith lesyng, he spekith of his owne; for he is a liere, and fadir of it.

⁴³ wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

⁴⁴ 'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.

⁴⁵ 'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

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