The Truth Will Set You Free
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples,
32
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
33
They replied to him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, 'You will become free'?"
34
Jesus replied to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
35
And the slave does not remain in the household {forever}; the son remains {forever}.
36
So if the son sets you free, you will be truly free.
37
I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word makes no progress among you.
38
I speak [the things] that I have seen with the Father; so also you do [the things] that you have heard from the Father."
The Priority of Jesus Over Abraham
39 They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father!" Jesus said to them, "If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham!
40
But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.
41
You are doing the deeds of your father!" They said to him, "We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!"
