22So the Jews said, 鈥淗e won't kill himself, will he, since he says, 鈥榃here I am going you cannot come鈥?鈥
23He said to them: 鈥淵ou are from below; I am from Above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.鈥
25So they said to Him, 鈥淲ho are you?鈥 And Jesus said to them: 鈥淛ust what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26I have many things to say and to judge about you, but He who sent me is true, and what I myself have heard from Him鈥攖hese things I say to the world.鈥
27They did not understand that He was speaking to them about the Father.
28Then Jesus said to them: 鈥淲hen you lift up the Son of the Man, then you will know that I am and that I do nothing from myself; but just as my Father has taught me, these things I speak.
29And the One who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do the things that please Him.鈥
30While He was saying these things many believed into Him.
31So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: 鈥淚f you abide in my word, you really are my disciples;
32and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free.鈥
33They answered and said to Him: 鈥淲e are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, 鈥榊ou will be made free鈥?鈥
34Jesus answered them: 鈥淚 tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin.
35Now the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son does remain forever.
36Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.
37I know that you are descendants of Abraham, but you are wanting to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
38On my part, I speak what I have observed with my Father, while on your part you do what you have observed with your father.鈥
39They answered and said to Him, 鈥淥ur father is Abraham!鈥 Jesus says to them: 鈥淚f you were children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham;
40but now you are wanting to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This sort of thing Abraham did not do!
41You do the works of your father.鈥 Then they said to Him, 鈥淲e were not born of fornication; we have one Father鈥擥od.鈥
42So Jesus said to them: 鈥淚f God were your Father, you would love me, because I came forth from God and I am here. Further, I have not come on my own, but He sent me.
43Why don't you understand what I say?鈥攂ecause you are not able to really hear my word.
44You are of your father the devil, and it is the desires of your father that you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar and the father of lying.
45But since I speak the truth you do not believe me.
46Which of you convicts me of sin? So if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47The one who is of God hears God's words; that is why you do not hear, because you are not of God.鈥
48So the Jews answered and said to Him, 鈥淲e say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon鈥攁re we wrong?鈥
49Jesus answered: 鈥 I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor me.
