John 8:42-44
42JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “IfG1487 GodG2316 were your FatherG3962, 1you would loveG25 Me, 2for I proceededG1831 forthG1831 and haveG2240 comeG2240 from GodG2316, for I have 3not evenG3761 comeG2064 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683, but 45He sentG649 Me.
43WhyG1223G5101 do you not understandG1097 67whatG2981 I am sayingG2981? It is becauseG3754 you cannotG1410G3756 8hearG191 My wordG3056.
449You are of 10your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, and 11you wantG2309 to doG4160 the desiresG1939 of your fatherG3962. 12He was a murdererG443 from the beginningG746, and does not standG4739 in the truthG225 becauseG3754 13there is noG3756 truthG225 in him. WheneverG3752 he speaksG2980 14a lieG5579, he 15speaksG2980 from his ownG2398 nature, for he is a liarG5583 and the fatherG3962 of 16liesG846.
