*
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him , "
If you abide in My word ,
you are My disciples indeed .
*
And you shall know the truth ,
and the truth shall make you free ."
*
They answered Him , "
We are Abraham '
s descendants ,
and have never been in bondage to anyone .
How can You say , "
You will be made free '?"
*
Jesus answered them , "
Most assuredly ,
I say to you ,
whoever commits sin is a slave of sin .
*
And a slave does not abide in the house forever ,
but a son abides forever .
*
Therefore if the Son makes you free ,
you shall be free indeed .
* "
I know that you are Abraham '
s descendants ,
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 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 Abraham '
s children ,
you would do the works of Abraham .
*
But now you seek to kill Me ,
a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God .
Abraham did not do this .
*
You do the deeds of your father ."
Then they said to Him , "
We were not born of fornication ;
we have one Father--God ."
