John 8:26-36

26 "I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but ¹He who sent Me is true; and ²the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."

27 They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.

28 So Jesus said, "When you ³lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that ⁴I am He, and ⁵I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

29 "And He who sent Me is with Me; ⁶He has not left Me alone, for ⁷I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."

30 As He spoke these things, ⁸many came to believe in Him.

The Truth Will Make You Free

31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "⁹If you continue in My word, then you are truly ¹⁰disciples of Mine;

32 and ¹¹you will know the truth, and ¹²the truth will make you free."

33 They answered Him, "¹³We are Abraham's descendants and have never * yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free '?"

34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, ¹⁴everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

35 "¹⁵The slave does not remain in the house forever; ¹⁶the son does remain forever.

36 "So if the Son ¹⁷makes you free, you will be free indeed.
