John 8:43
Compare all
41 You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; awe have one Father—God.”  
42 Jesus said to them, a“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for bI proceeded forth and came from God; cnor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.  
43 aWhy do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.  
44 aYou are of your father the devil, and the bdesires of your father you want to cdo. He was a murderer from the beginning, and ddoes not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.  
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

John 8:42-47

Now please turn over to John 8, verse 42. As the conflict grew nearer, Jesus says it shows the difference between what He had seen with His Father and what they had heard from theirs. And when they protested, He declared that God was His Father and that the Devil was their father.

Jesus told the Jews that because they were children of their father, they did not know what truth was. They lived in a world of lies and distortion and falsehood. In a sense, truth was a foreign language to them; their native language was lies.

Excerpted from The Radiance of God's Glory

John 8:42-47

Truthfulness requires that we never alter the truth in words or actions to deceive others, whether for pleasure, to benefit others or ourselves, or even for the best cause.
