ur Lord Jesus Christ denounced them in still more forceful and
direct language. He said to the Jews a short time before they crucified
him:

"Ye are of YOUR father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it." St.
John 8:44.
