John 8:30-38

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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