The Priority Of Jesus Over Abraham
44 You belong to your father the devil, and you are [always] wanting to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the [very] beginning [Note: This is probably a reference to Satan's influence on Adam, Eve and Cain in the Garden of Eden] and does not stand for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he only speaks what is part of his nature, because he is a liar and the father of [all] liars. 45 But because I tell [you] the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you can prove me guilty of sinning? If I tell you the truth, why do you not believe me?
