* Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him , If you continue in my word , then are you my disciples indeed ; * And you shall know the truth , and the truth shall make you free . * They answered him , We be Abraham ' seed , and were never in bondage to any man : how say you , You shall be made free ? * Jesus answered them , Truly , truly , I say to you , Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin . * And the servant stays not in the house for ever : but the Son stays ever . * If the Son therefore shall make you free , you shall be free indeed . * I know that you are Abraham ' seed ; but you seek to kill me , because my word has no place in you . * I speak that which I have seen with my Father : and you do that which you have seen with your father . * They answered and said to him , Abraham is our father . Jesus said to them , If you were Abraham ' children , you would do the works of Abraham . * But now you seek to kill me , a man that has told you the truth , which I have heard of God : this did not Abraham . * You do the deeds of your father . Then said they to him , We be not born of fornication ; we have one Father , even God .
