John 8:31-41

31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "¹If you continue in My word, then you are truly ²disciples of Mine;

32 and ³you will know the truth, and ⁴the truth will make you free."

33 They answered Him, "⁵We 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, ⁶everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

35 "⁷The slave does not remain in the house forever; ⁸the son does remain forever.

36 "So if the Son ⁹makes you free, you will be free indeed.

37 "I know that you are ¹⁰Abraham's descendants; yet ¹¹you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

38 "I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from ¹²your father."

39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is ¹³our father." Jesus said to them, "¹⁴If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.

40 "But as it is, ¹⁵you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has ¹⁶told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

41 "You are doing the deeds of ¹⁷your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; ¹⁸we have one Father: God."
