42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,p because I came from Godq and I am here. For I didn’t come on my own, but he sent me. 43 Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen toD my word.r 44 You are of your father the devil,s and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderert from the beginningu and does not stand in the truth,v because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature,E because he is a liar and the father of lies.
