Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
