You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

ગુજરાતીયોહાન ૮:૪૪
તમે તમારા પિતા શેતાનના છો અને તમારા પિતાની દુર્વાસના પ્રમાણે તમે કરવા ચાહો છો. તે પ્રથમથી મનુષ્યઘાતક હતો અને તેનામાં સત્ય નથી, તેથી તે સત્યમાં સ્થિર રહ્યો નહિ; જયારે તે જૂઠું બોલે છે, ત્યારે તે પોતાથી જ બોલે છે, કેમ કે તે જૂઠો અને જૂઠાનો પિતા છે.
हिन्दीयूहन्ना ८:४४
तुम अपने पिता शैतान से हो , और अपने पिता की लालसाओं को पूरा करना चाहते हो। वह तो आरम्भ से हत्यारा है, और सत्य पर स्थिर न रहा, क्योंकि सत्य उसमें है ही नहीं; जब वह झूठ बोलता, तो अपने स्वभाव ही से बोलता है; क्योंकि वह झूठा है, वरन् झूठ का पिता है। (प्रेरि. 13:10)

In context

42Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

43Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

44You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

45But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

46Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
