John 8:30-38

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

³¹Jesus, 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,

³²and the truth shall make you free.'

³³They 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?'

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

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

³⁶if 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;

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