I see their overall pattern in this:
John 8:44-45 (emphasis added)
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 does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him.
Whenever he speaks a lie,
he speaks from his own *nature*,
for he is a *liar*
and the father of lies.
But because I speak the truth,
you do not believe Me.
