*
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him ,
If you continue in My Word ,
you are truly My disciples .
*
And you will know the truth ,
and the truth will set you free .
*
They answered Him ,
We are Abraham '
s seed ,
and we have been in slavery to no one ,
never !
How do you say ,
You will become free ?
*
Jesus answered them ,
Truly ,
truly ,
I say to you ,
everyone practicing sin is a slave of sin .
*
But the slave does not remain in the house forever ;
the son remains forever .
*
Therefore ,
if the Son sets you free ,
you are free indeed .
*
I know that you are Abraham '
s seed ,
but you seek to kill Me ,
because My Word has no place in you .
*
I speak what I have seen with My Father .
And you therefore do what you have seen with your father .
*
They answered and said to Him ,
Abraham is our father .
Jesus said to them ,
If you were children of Abraham ,
you would do the works of Abraham .
*
But now you seek to kill Me ,
a man who has spoken the truth to you ,
which I heard alongside of God .
Abraham did not do this .
*
You do the works of your father .
They said to Him ,
We were not born of fornication ;
we have one father ,
God .
