bwe John:8:31-41
bwe@John:8:31 @ Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, If you obey my word, you are truly my disciples.
bwe@John:8:32 @ And you will understand the truth and the truth will make you free.
bwe@John:8:33 @ They said to him, We are Abrahams children. We have always been free. Why do you say to us, "You will be free"?
bwe@John:8:34 @ 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.
bwe@John:8:35 @ A slave does not belong to the family for ever. But a son belongs for ever.
bwe@John:8:36 @ So if the Son makes you free, you will be truly free.
bwe@John:8:37 @ I know that you come from Abraham. But you want to kill me because you do not like what I tell you.
bwe@John:8:38 @ I tell you about the things that I have seen where my Father is, and you do what you have seen your father do.
bwe@John:8:39 @ They answered him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said, If you were Abrahams children, you would do what Abraham did.
bwe@John:8:40 @ But you want to kill me because I told you the truth which I learned from God. Abraham did not do that.
bwe@John:8:41 @ 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.
