John 8:44 in Context — John 8
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.
45 Et moi, parce que je dis la vérité, vous ne me croyez pas.
46 Qui de vous me convaincra de péché? Si je dis la vérité, pourquoi ne me croyez-vous pas?
