John 8:29-43

²⁹As he spake these wordes many beleved on him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁸They 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.

³⁹But 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.

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

⁴¹Iesus 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.

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

⁴³Ye are of youre father the devyll and the lustes of youre father ye will folowe.
