Contextual Overview

³⁸ I speak what I have seen with my Father; and you do what you have seen with your father. ³⁹ They answered and said to him, Our own father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were the sons of Abraham, you would be doing the works of Abraham. ⁴⁰ But behold, now you want to kill me, even a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. ⁴¹ But you do the works of your father. They said to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, God. ⁴² Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came from God; I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me. ⁴³ Why therefore do you not understand my word? Because you cannot obey my word? ⁴⁴ You are from the father of accusation, and you want to do the lusts of your father, he who is a murderer of men from the very beginning and who never stands by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks he speaks his own lie, because he is a liar, and the father of it. ⁴⁵ But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And because I tell you the truth,.... And no lie, the whole truth of the Gospel, and particularly the truth of his divine sonship:

ye believe me not; to such an infatuation and judicial blindness were they give up, to disbelieve him, because he told the truth, and to believe a lie, that they might be damned; which showed them to be the children of the devil, and under his power and influence.
