43 Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.

44 You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

45 But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.
