32
You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
33
"We are descendants[a] of Abraham," they answered Him, "and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How can You say, 'You will become free'?"
34
Jesus responded, "I assure you: Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
35
A slave does not remain in the household forever, but a son does remain forever.
36
Therefore if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.
37
I know you are descendants [b] of Abraham, but you are trying to kill Me because My word [c] is not welcome among you.
38
I speak what I have seen in the presence of the Father, [d] and therefore you do what you have heard from your father."
39
"Our father is Abraham!" they replied. "If you were Abraham's children," Jesus told them, "you would do what Abraham did.
40
But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!
41
You're doing what your father does." "We weren't born of sexual immorality," they said. "We have one Father-God."
42
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn't come on My own, but He sent Me.
