John 8:43-45

English Standard Version

^43 (A)Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot ^(B)bear to hear my word. ^44 (C)You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. ^(D)He was a murderer from the beginning, and ^(E)does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. ^(F)When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. ⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
