The Devil in the quote seems to me to be a disguised reference to the Old Testament God. Especially because of the father of lies part. (I.e. the Old Testament God has lied to the Jews and fooled them into following him.)

Basically the author of John (or that specific portion of John) seems to have believed that the Old Testament God was evil, so he slipped in a phrase saying that Jews are Satanists and the Old Testament God is the devil.

Could be wrong, though.
