New American Standard Bible 1995
John 8:42-44
42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, 1you would love Me, 2for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have 3not even come on My own initiative, but 45He sent Me.
43Why do you not understand 67what I am saying? It is because you cannot 8hear My word.
449You are of 10your father the devil, and 11you want to do the desires of your father. 12He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because 13there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks 14a lie, he 15speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of 16lies.
