John 8:31-41

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

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

33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou,Ye shall be made free?

33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

34 Jesus answered them,Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

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

37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word.

38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.”

39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them,If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do what Abraham did.

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things.

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

41 You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”
