John 8:44 - Forerunner Commentary

John 8:44

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?

47 ^aHe who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”

48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and ^ahave a demon?”

49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and ^ayou dishonor Me.

50 And ^aI do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

51 Most assuredly, I say to you, ^aif anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”
