42Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
43wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44`Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.
45`And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.`
48The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?`
