John 8:35-45

35 "¹The slave does not remain in the house forever; ²the son does remain forever.

36 "So if the Son ³makes you free, you will be free indeed.

37 "I know that you are ⁴Abraham's descendants; yet ⁵you 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 ⁶your father."

39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is ⁷our father." Jesus said to them, "⁸If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.

40 "But as it is, ⁹you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has ¹⁰told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

41 "You are doing the deeds of ¹¹your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; ¹²we have one Father: God."

42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, ¹³you would love Me, ¹⁴for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have ¹⁵not even come on My own initiative, but ¹⁶He sent Me.

43 "Why * do you not understand ¹⁷what I am saying? It is because you cannot * ¹⁸hear My word.

44 "¹⁹You are of ²⁰your father the devil, and ²¹you want to do the desires of your father. ²²He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because ²³there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he ²⁴speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 "But because ²⁵I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.
