John 8:29-42 in English

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

⁴² Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. He hasn’t left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

³⁰ As Jesus spoke, many came to believe in Him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you continue in my words, you are truly my disciples,

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

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

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever sins is a slave of sin.

³⁵ A slave doesn’t remain in the house forever, but a son does belong forever.

³⁶ Therefore 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.

³⁸ I talk about what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”

³⁹ They answered, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus told them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham,

⁴⁰ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We weren’t born of fornication. We have one Father — God.”

⁴² Jesus 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.

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

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

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

³² And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make 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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

⁴² Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

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

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

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

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

³³ They 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

⁴² Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He is the one who sent me, and he helps me. Because I always do the things that please him, he has never abandoned me.”

³⁰ As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he was ◄ from God/the Messiah►.

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to live in accordance with my message, you will truly be my disciples.

³² Then you will know God's truth, and as a result of your believing his truth, he PRS will free you from being controlled by the one who has made you his slaves.”

³³ They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham. We have never been anyone's slaves. So why do you say we will be freed from being someone's slaves?”

³⁴ Jesus replied, “Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. All those who continue to sin are forced to obey their sinful desires MET, just like a slave is forced to obey his master.

³⁵ A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. Similarly, you say you are members of God's family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God's family.

³⁶ So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham's descendants. But you are trying to kill me because you are not allowing PRS my message to continue to change your inner being.

³⁸ I am telling you what I saw when I was with my Father. But you do the things that you have heard from your father.”

³⁹ They replied to him, “Abraham is our ancestor.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's descendants, your character would be like Abraham's character, and you would do good things like Abraham did.

⁴⁰ I have been telling you the truth that I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did not do things like that.

⁴¹ No! You are doing the things that your real father does.” They said to him, “ We do not know about you, but we are not illegitimate children. And spiritually, we have only one Father. That is God, and you do not know who your father is!”

⁴² Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, because I came from God, and now I have come here to this world. My coming was not ◄because I appointed myself/with my own authority►. He sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

³⁰ When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

³² And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

³³ They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

³⁴ And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

³⁵ Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

³⁶ If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.

³⁷ I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.

³⁹ In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.

⁴⁰ But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

⁴¹ You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

⁴² Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

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

³⁰ As he spoke these things many believed on him.

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

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

³³ They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.

³⁵ Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.

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

³⁸ I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father.

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

⁴⁰ but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.

⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.

⁴² Jesus said to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come from him; for neither am I come of myself, but he has sent me.

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

³⁰ When he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.

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

³³ They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵ Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

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

³⁹ They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.

⁴² Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me:

²⁹ And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

³⁰ While He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, truly you are My disciples.

³² And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

³³ They answered Him, “We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will become free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly I say to you, that everyone that practices sin is a slave of sin.

³⁵ And a slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.

³⁶ Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.

³⁷ “I know that you are Abraham's seed, but you seek to kill Me, because My word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.”

³⁹ They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has spoken to you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would have loved Me, for I came forth and have come from God; nor have I come from Myself, but He sent Me.

²⁹ And the One who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do the things that please Him.”

³⁰ While He was saying these things many believed into Him.

³¹ So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: “If you abide in my word, you really are my disciples;

³² and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered and said to Him: “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them: “I tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin.

³⁵ Now the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son does remain forever.

³⁶ Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.

³⁷ I know that you are descendants of Abraham, but you are wanting to kill me because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ On my part, I speak what I have observed with my Father, while on your part you do what you have observed with your father.”

³⁹ They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham!” Jesus says to them: “If you were children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham;

⁴⁰ but 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!

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”

⁴² So Jesus said to them: “If 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.

²⁹ The one who sent me is with me; he has not abandoned me, for I always do what pleases him.”

³⁰ Many who heard Jesus say these things put their trust in him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who trusted in him, “If you follow my teaching then you really are my disciples.

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

³³ “We're descendants of Abraham! We've never been slaves to anyone,” they answered. “How can you say that we'll be set free?”

³⁴ Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.

³⁵ A slave doesn't have a permanent place in the family, but the son is part of the family forever.

³⁶ If the Son sets you free, then you're truly free.

³⁷ I know you're Abraham's descendants, yet you're trying to kill me because you refuse to accept my words.

³⁸ I'm telling you what the Father has revealed to me, while you do what your father told you.”

³⁹ “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you really were children of Abraham, you'd do what Abraham did,” Jesus told them.

⁴⁰ “But you are trying to kill me now, because I told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would never have done that.

⁴¹ You're doing what your father does.” “Well we are not illegitimate,” they responded. “God alone is our father!”

⁴² Jesus replied, “If God really was your father, you would love me. I came from God and now I am here. The decision to come wasn't mine, but the one who sent me.

²⁹ For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.

³⁰ As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.

³¹ Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,

³² And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.

³³ They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?

³⁴ Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.

³⁵ And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer.

³⁶ If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.

³⁷ I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.

³⁸ I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.

³⁹ They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.

⁴¹ Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.

⁴² Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.

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

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

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

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make 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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

⁴² Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁹ They 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.

⁴⁰ But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God; this did not Abraham.

⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.

⁴² Jesus said to them, If God were your father, ye would love me; for from God I proceeded forth and am come; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.”

³⁰ While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.

³¹ So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, “If you remain constant to my message, you are truly my disciples;

³² and you find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

³³ “We are descendants of Abraham,” was their answer, “and have never yet been in slavery to anyone. What do you mean by saying ‘you will be set free’?”

³⁴ “In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

³⁵ And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always.

³⁶ If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!

³⁷ I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you are seeking to put me to death, because my message finds no place in your hearts.

³⁸ I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learnt from your father.”

³⁹ “Our father is Abraham,” was their answer. “If you are Abraham's children,” replied Jesus, “do what Abraham did.

⁴⁰ But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death — a man who has told you the truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.

⁴¹ You are doing what your own father does.” “We are not bastards,” they said, “we have one Father — God himself.”

⁴² “If God were your Father,” Jesus replied, “you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his messenger.

²⁹ Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.”

³⁰ While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.

³¹ So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, “If you remain constant to my message, you are truly my disciples;

³² and you find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

³³ “We are descendants of Abraham,” was their answer, “and have never yet been in slavery to anyone. What do you mean by saying ‘you will be set free’?”

³⁴ “In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

³⁵ And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always.

³⁶ If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!

³⁷ I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you are seeking to put me to death, because my message finds no place in your hearts.

³⁸ I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father.”

³⁹ “Our father is Abraham,” was their answer. “If you are Abraham's children,” replied Jesus, “do what Abraham did.

⁴⁰ But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death — a man who has told you the truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.

⁴¹ You are doing what your own father does.” “We are not bastards,” they said, “we have one Father — God himself.”

⁴² “If God were your Father,” Jesus replied, “you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his messenger.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

³¹ Yeshua Salvation therefore said to those Jews Praisers who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham Father of a multitude’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Yeshua Salvation answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bond-servant of sin.

³⁵ A bond-servant does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham Father of a multitude’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with 'Avi ·my Father·; and you also do the things which you have seen with 'Avikah ·your Father·.”

³⁹ They answered him, “Abraham Father of a multitude is Avinu ·our Father·.” Yeshua Salvation said to them, “If you were Abraham Father of a multitude’s children, you would do the works of Abraham Father of a multitude.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham Father of a multitude didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·.” They said to him, “We were not born of porhneia ·sexual immorality·; we have one Abba Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Yeshua Salvation said to them, “If God were your Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, you would have agapao ·total devotion love· towards me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ As he spake these wordes many beleved on him.

³⁰ Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye continue in my wordes then are ye my very disciples

³¹ and shall knowe the trueth: and the trueth shall make you free.

³² They answered him: We be Abrahams seede and were never bonde to eny man: why sayest thou then ye shalbe made fre.

³³ Iesus answered them: verely verely I saye vnto you that whosoever committeth synne is the servaunt of synne.

³⁴ And the servaunt abydeth not in the housse for ever: But the sonne abydeth ever.

³⁵ If the sonne therfore shall make you fre then are ye fre in dede.

³⁶ I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: But ye seke meanes to kyll me because my sayinges have no place in you.

³⁷ I speake that I have sene with my father: and ye do that which ye have sene with youre father.

³⁸ They answered and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Iesus sayde vnto them. If ye were Abrahams chyldren ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham.

³⁹ But now ye goo about to kyll me a man that have tolde you the truthe which I have herde of god: this dyd not Abraham.

⁴⁰ Ye do the dedes of youre father. Then sayde they vnto him: we were not borne of fornicacion. We have one father which is God.

⁴¹ Iesus sayde vnto them: yf God were youre father then wolde ye love me. For I proceaded forthe and come from God. Nether came I of my selfe but he sent me.

⁴² Why do ye not knowe my speache? even because ye cannot abyde the hearynge of my wordes.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”

³⁰ As Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;

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

³³ They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves of anyone; how can you say, 'You will be set free'?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

³⁵ The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.

³⁶ Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham's descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.

³⁸ I say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard from your father.”

³⁹ They answered and said to him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”

⁴² Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁹ They 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.

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

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

⁴² Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

³¹ Yeshua therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Yeshua answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Yeshua said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

⁴² Therefore Yeshua said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Yeshua answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Yeshua said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me, and left me not alone; for I do ever-more those things, that be pleasing to him.

³⁰ When he spake these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Therefore Jesus said to the Jews, that believed in him, If ye dwell in my word, verily, ye shall be my disciples;

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

³³ Therefore the Jews answered to him, We be the seed of Abraham, and we served never to man or and to no man we served ever; how sayest thou, That ye shall be free?

³⁴ Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, each man that doeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵ And the servant dwelleth not in the house without end, but the Son dwelleth without end.

³⁶ Therefore if the Son make you free, verily, ye shall be free.

³⁷ I know that ye be Abraham’s sons, but ye seek to slay me, for my word taketh not in you.

³⁸ I speak those things, that I saw at my Father; and ye do those things, that ye saw at your father.

³⁹ They answered, and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye be the sons of Abraham, do ye the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now ye seek to slay me, a man that have spoken to you the truth, that I heard of God; Abraham did not this thing.

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

⁴² But Jesus saith to them, If God were your Father, soothly ye should love me; for I passed forth of God, or I proceeded, or came forth, of God, and came; for neither I came of myself, but he sent me.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me, and left me not alone; for I do (for)evermore those things, that be pleasing to him, (or for I always do those things, that be pleasing to him).

³⁰ When he spake these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Therefore Jesus said to the Jews, that believed in him, If ye dwell in my word, verily, ye shall be my disciples, (or If ye remain in my word, truly, ye shall be my disciples);

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

³³ Therefore the Jews answered to him, We be the seed of Abraham, and we served never to (any) man, or and to no man we served ever, (or and we were never in servitude, or in slavery, to any man); how sayest thou, That ye shall be free?

³⁴ Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), each man that doeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵ And the servant dwelleth not in the house into without end, but the Son dwelleth into without end.

³⁶ Therefore if the Son make you free, verily, ye shall be free. (And so if the Son shall make you free, truly, or in truth, ye shall be free.)

³⁷ I know that ye be Abraham’s sons, but ye seek to slay me, for my word taketh not (hold) in you.

³⁸ I speak those things, that I saw at my Father; and ye do those things, that ye saw at your father.

³⁹ They answered, and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye be the sons of Abraham, (then) do ye the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now ye seek to slay me, a man that have spoken to you the truth, that I heard of God (or that I heard from God); Abraham did not this thing.

⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. Therefore they said to him, We be not born of fornication; we have (but) one Father, God.

⁴² But Jesus saith to them, If God were your Father, soothly ye should love me; for I passed forth of God, or forsooth I proceeded, or came forth, of God, and came (here); for neither I came of myself, but he sent me. (But Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, truly ye would love me, for I came forth from God, and came here; yea, I did not come here on my own accord, but he sent me.)

²⁹ And he that sente me is with me, and lefte me not aloone; for Y do euermore tho thingis, that ben plesynge to hym.

³⁰ Whanne he spak these thingis, manye bileueden in hym.

³¹ Therfor Jhesus seide to the Jewis, that bileueden in hym, If ye dwellen in my word, verili ye schulen be my disciplis;

³² and ye schulen knowe the treuthe, and the treuthe schal make you fre.

³³ Therfor the Jewis answeriden to hym, We ben the seed of Abraham, and we serueden neuere to man; hou seist thou, That ye schulen be fre?

³⁴ Jhesus answeride to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, ech man that doith synne, is seruaunt of synne.

³⁵ And the seruaunt dwellith not in the hows with outen ende, but the sone dwellith with outen ende.

³⁶ Therfor if the sone make you fre, verili ye schulen be fre.

³⁷ Y woot that ye ben Abrahams sones, but ye seken to sle me, for my word takith not in you.

³⁸ Y speke tho thingis, that Y say at my fadir; and ye doen tho thingis, that ye sayn at youre fadir.

³⁹ Thei answerden, and seiden to hym, Abraham is oure fadir. Jhesus seith to hem, If ye ben the sones of Abraham, do ye the werkis of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now ye seken to sle `me, a man that haue spoken to you treuthe, that Y herde of God; Abraham dide not this thing.

⁴¹ Ye doen the werkis of youre fadir. Therfor thei seiden to hym, We ben not borun of fornycacioun; we han o fadir, God.

⁴² But Jhesus seith to hem, If God were youre fadir, sotheli ye schulden loue me; for Y passide forth of God, and cam; for nether Y cam of my silf, but he sente me.

²⁹ and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

³⁰ As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

³¹ Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

³² and the truth shall make you free.'

³³ They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'

³⁴ Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

³⁵ and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age;

³⁶ if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

³⁷ 'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

³⁸ I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'

³⁹ They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

⁴⁰ and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;

⁴¹ ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'

⁴² Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
