⁴² Jesus said to them, ^(A)“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for ^(B)I proceeded forth and came from God; ^(C)nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. ^43 (D)Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. ^44 (E)You are of your father the devil, and the ^(F)desires of your father you want to ^(G)do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and ^(H)does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

^47 (A)He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
