*
Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him ,
If you obey my word ,
you are truly my disciples .
*
And you will understand the truth and the truth will make you free .
*
They said to him ,
We are Abrahams children .
We have always been free .
Why do you say to us , "
You will be free "?
*
Jesus answered them ,
I tell you the truth .
People who do wrong things are not free .
They become a slave of the wrong things they do .
*
A slave does not belong to the family for ever .
But a son belongs for ever .
*
So if the Son makes you free ,
you will be truly free .
*
I know that you come from Abraham .
But you want to kill me because you do not like what I tell you .
*
I tell you about the things that I have seen where my Father is ,
and you do what you have seen your father do .
*
They answered him ,
Abraham is our father .
Jesus said ,
If you were Abrahams children ,
you would do what Abraham did .
*
But you want to kill me because I told you the truth which I learned from God .
Abraham did not do that .
*
You are doing your fathers work .
Then they said to him ,
We were not born of an unmarried woman .
God is the Father of us all .
