Holman Christian Standard Bible

John 8:44-53 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

44. You are of your father the Devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars.

45. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

46. Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe Me?

47. The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”

48. The Jews responded to Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You’re a Samaritan and have a demon? ”

49. “I do not have a demon,” Jesus answered. “On the contrary, I honor My Father and you dishonor Me.

50. I do not seek My glory; the One who seeks it also judges.

51. I assure you: If anyone keeps My word, he will never see death — ever! ”

52. Then the Jews said, “Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death — ever! ’

53. Are You greater than our father Abraham who died? Even the prophets died. Who do You pretend to be? ”
