JOHN 8:28-38

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

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

³⁰As he spake these things, many believed on him.

³¹Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

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

³³They answered unto him, We be Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

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

³⁷I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

³⁸I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father.
