John 8:24-39

²⁴Therefore I said to you, that ye will die in your sins; for unless ye believe that I am He, ye will die in your sins.

²⁵They said therefore to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, In the first place, I am just that which I speak to you.

²⁶I have many things to say, and to judge, concerning you; but he who sent me is true; and I speak to the world what I heard from him.

²⁷They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.

²⁸Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am He, and do nothing of myself, but speak these things as the Father taught me.

²⁹And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone, for I always do the things that please him.

³⁰As he spoke these words, many believed in him.

³¹Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed in him, If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples;

³²and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

³³They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and have never been in bondage to any one; how sayest, thou, Ye will be made free?

³⁴Jesus answered them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Every one that committeth sin is a bond-servant of sin.

³⁵And the bond-servant abideth not in the house for ever; the son abideth for ever.

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

³⁷I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word is not received within you.

³⁸I speak what I have seen with the Father; and ye accordingly do what ye have seen with your father.

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