John 8:42-47 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

42. Jesus answered:If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and only from him. He sent me. I did not come on my own.

43. Why can't you understand what I am talking about? Can't you stand to hear what I am saying?

44. Your father is the devil, and you do exactly what he wants. He has always been a murderer and a liar. There is nothing truthful about him. He speaks on his own, and everything he says is a lie. Not only is he a liar himself, but he is also the father of all lies.

45. Everything I have told you is true, and you still refuse to have faith in me.

46. Can any of you accuse me of sin? If you cannot, why won't you have faith in me? After all, I am telling you the truth.

47. Anyone who belongs to God will listen to his message. But you refuse to listen, because you don't belong to God.
