Johannes 8,44

42 Jesus sa til dem, “Hvis Gud var deres Far, ville dere elske Meg, for Jeg har kommet fra Gud. Jeg har ikke kommet av Meg selv; Gud sendte Meg.

43 Hvorfor er Mitt språk ikke klart for dere? Det er fordi dere ikke er i stand til å høre hva Jeg sier.

Dere tilhører deres far, djevelen, og dere ønsker å utføre deres fars ønsker. Han var en morder fra begynnelsen, og holdt ikke fast ved sannheten, for det er ingen sannhet i ham. Når han lyver, taler han sitt morsmål, for han er en løgner og løgnens far.

45 Men fordi Jeg taler sannheten, tror dere ikke på Meg!

46 Kan noen av dere bevise at Jeg er skyldig i synd? Hvis Jeg taler sannheten, hvorfor tror dere ikke på Meg?

Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.

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.
