*
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed in him ,
If ye continue in my word ,
ye are truly my disciples ;
*
and ye will know the truth ,
and the truth will make you free .
*
They answered him ,
We are Abraham
s offspring ,
and have never been in bondage to any one ;
how sayest ,
thou ,
Ye will be made free ?
*
Jesus answered them ,
Truly ,
truly do I say to you ,
Every one that committeth sin is a bond
servant of sin .
*
And the bond
servant abideth not in the house for ever ;
the son abideth for ever .
*
If therefore the Son make you free ,
ye will be free indeed .
*
I know that ye are Abraham
s offspring ;
but ye seek to kill me ,
because my word is not received within you .
*
I speak what I have seen with the Father ;
and ye accordingly do what ye have seen with your father .
*
They answered and said to him ,
Abraham is our father .
Jesus saith to them ,
If ye were Abraham
s children ,
ye would do the works of Abraham .
*
But now ye seek to kill me ,
a man that hath spoken to you the truth ,
which I heard from God ;
this did not Abraham .
*
Ye do the works of your father .
They said to him ,
We were not born of fornication ;
we have one Father ,
God .
