Therefore ,
Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach was saying to the Yehudim who had emunah in him , "
If you remain in the dvar of me [
Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach ]
then you are my talmidim indeed .
* "
And you will have da '
as of HaEmes (
note :)
the Truth (:
note )
and HaEmes will give you deror ." [

They answered Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach , "
We are of the zera Avraham and to no one have we ever been enslaved .
How do you say "
You will become bnei Chorim (
note :)
freedmen (:
note )"?" [

In reply ,
Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach said to them "
Omein ,
omein ,
I say to you that everyone practicing Chet is an eved HaChet . [
Bereshis strkjv @
4:7 ]
* "
But the eved does not remain in the Bais ad Olam .
HaBen remains ad Olam . [

* "
If therefore HaBen makes you Bnei Chorim ,
you shall be Bnei Chorim indeed .
* "
I have da '
as that you are zera Avraham ,
but you seek to kill me ,
because my dvar has no place in you .
* "
What I have seen in the presence of HaAv of me ,
of that ,
I make solemn declaration .
Therefore ,
the things you have heard from your father you do ."
THIS SECTION USES MAMZERUT (
note :)
ILLEGITIMACY (:
note )
AS A METAPHOR FOR LACK OF HITKHADESHUT REGENERATION ;
THOSE FROM MATTA BELOW DO NOT HAVE AHAVAH FOR THE CHOCHMAH THAT CAME FORTH FROM HASHEM ;
SINCE A MAN IMITATES HIS AV ,
AND SINCE THEY WANT TO LIE AND TO COMMIT MURDER ON A MAN WHO TELLS THEM THE TRUTH ,
THEY ARE THE ZERA OF THE NACHASH ,
THAT LIAR AND MURDERER FROM BERESHIS ;
REBBE ,
MELECH HAMOSHIACH IS ADDRESSING ALL MEN WITHOUT HITKHADESHUT REGENERATION ,
FOR THIS NATURAL TENDENCY TO ACT LIKE OUR FATHER HASATAN IS PART OF THE HUMAN CONDITION ,
AND IS A TRAGIC FLAW FOUND IN EVERY MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE ,
EXCEPT THE ONE TZADDIK ,
REBBE ,
MELECH HAMOSHIACH ;
THEREFORE ,
ALL MEN NEED HITKHADESHUT

They answered and said unto him , "
Avinu hu Avraham ."
Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach says to them , "
If you were yeladim of Avraham ,
you would have been doing the ma '
asei Avraham .
* "
But now you are seeking to kill me ,
a man who has told you HaEmes ,
which I heard from Hashem ;
this was not a ma '
aseh Avraham did . [
Tehillim strkjv @
15:2 ]
* "
You are doing the ma '
asim of your Av ."
They said ,
therefore ,
to Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach , "
We are not mamzerim who have been born of zenunim (
note :)
fornication (:
note ).
We have Av Echad ,
Hashem ." [
