They replied, “We aren’t illegitimate children! God himself is our true Father.”

             Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me.   Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s because you can’t even hear me!   For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does.  He was a murderer from the beginning.  He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. 

                        So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me!
