John 8:31-38

Listen to John 8:31-38

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ¹“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,

32 and you will ²know the truth, and the truth ³will set you free. ”

33 They answered him, ⁴“We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’? ”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁵everyone who practices sin is a slave^[a] to sin.

35 ⁶The slave does not remain in the house forever; ⁷the son remains forever.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet ⁸you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.

38 ⁹I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard ¹⁰from your father. ”
