John 8:42-44

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

⁴² Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would be loving Me, for I came-forth and am-here from God. For I have not even come of Myself, but that One sent Me forth. ⁴³ For what reason are you not understanding My speaking? It is because you are not able to hear My word. ⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil. And you are wanting^[a] to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer from the beginning, and was not standing^[b] in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie^[c], he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
