John 8:43-47
43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
The one who is God's hears Jesus Christ. The one who does not hear is not God's. Truth can only be heard by those who are God's - the ones He knows and calls out. Others remain in a lie unless called. This is why so many heard Jesus speak, but so many were not His sheep and called Him a liar. They did not have ears to hear.
