You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
All Commentaries on John 8:44 Go To John 8
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
Besides, the Lord declares that "the devil is a liar from the beginning, and the truth is not in him.".
For they died who tasted of the tree; and the serpent is proved a liar and a murderer, as the Lord said of him: "For he is a murderer from the beginning, and the truth is not in him."
