44You are from your father, the devil, and you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of it.

45But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

46Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

47The one who is from God hears the words of God. For this reason you do not hear, because you are not from God.
