In context
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
46 Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
48 The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
49 “I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
50 I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
