John 8:42 in Context — John 8

40 Mais maintenant vous cherchez à me faire mourir, moiqui vous ai dit la vérité que j’ai entendue de Dieu. Cela, Abraham ne l’a point fait.

41 Vous faites les œuvres de votre père. Ils lui dirent: Nous ne sommes pas des enfants illégitimes; nous avons un seul Père, Dieu.

42 Jésus leur dit: Si Dieu était votre Père, vous m’aimeriez, car c’est de Dieu que je suis sorti et que je viens;je ne suis pas venu de moi-même, mais c’est lui qui m’a envoyé.

43 Pourquoi ne comprenez-vous pas mon langage? Parce que vous ne pouvez écouter ma parole.

44 Vous avez pour père le diable, et vous voulez accomplir les désirs de votre père.Il a été meurtrier dès le commencement, et ilne se tient pas dans la vérité, parce qu’il n’y a pas de vérité en lui. Lorsqu’il profère le mensonge, il parle de son propre fonds; car il est menteur et le père du mensonge.
