But I — because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
In context
43Why do you not understand what I am saying? Because you cannot bear to hear my word. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you choose to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he never stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native tongue, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45But I — because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46Which of you can convict me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? 47Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. You do not hear them, because you do not belong to God.”
