28So, Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father taught me.
29He who sent me is with me. He hasn’t left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
30As Jesus spoke, many came to believe in Him.
31Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you continue in my words, you are truly my disciples,
32and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been slaves to anyone. How can you say that we’ll be set free?”
34Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever sins is a slave of sin.
35A slave doesn’t remain in the house forever, but a son does belong forever.
36Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37“I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38I talk about what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
39They answered, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus told them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham,
40but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
41You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We weren’t born of fornication. We have one Father — God.”
42Jesus said, “If God were your Father, you would sincerely love me, for I came from God, and now am here. I haven’t come of my own initiative, but He sent me.
43Why don’t you understand what I say? It’s because you can’t accept my words.
