John 8:30-52 in English

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.

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

⁴⁵ But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.

⁵⁰ But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

⁵² The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

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.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand what I say? It’s because you can’t accept my words.

⁴⁴ You are of your father, the Devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ Because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe me?

⁴⁷ Whoever is from God hears God’s words. The reason you don’t hear them is that you aren’t from God.”

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and asked Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ I don’t seek glory for myself, but there is One who seeks it, and He is the judge.

⁵¹ Most assuredly, I tell you, anyone who keeps my word will never see death.”

⁵² Then the Jews answered Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and You say, ‘Anyone who keeps my word will never taste death.’

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.

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

⁵⁰ And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

⁵² Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

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.

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

⁴⁵ But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.

⁵⁰ But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

⁵² The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

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.

⁴³ ◄And I will tell you why you do not understand what I say./Do you know why you do not understand what I say?► RHQ It is because you do not want to accept my message.

⁴⁴ You belong to your father, ◄the devil/Satan►, and you desire to do what he wants. He has caused people to become murderers from the time when people first sinned. He has abandoned God's truth because he is a liar by his nature. Whenever he lies, he is speaking according to his nature, because he is a liar and is the one who originates MET all lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!

⁴⁶ Since I have never sinned, ◄none of you can show that I have sinned./can anyone among you show that I have sinned?► RHQ So, since I tell you the truth, ◄there is no good reason for your not believing me!/why is it that you do not believe me?► RHQ

⁴⁷ Those who belong to God habitually obey God's message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”

⁴⁸ The Jewish leaders SYN replied to him, “◄We are certainly right by saying that you believe what is false as the Samaritans do!/Are we not right by saying that you believe what is false as the Samaritans do?► RHQ And that ◄a demon/an evil spirit► controls you!”

⁴⁹ Jesus replied, “A demon does not control me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!

⁵⁰ I am not trying to honor myself. There is someone else who desires to honor me, and he is the one who will judge whether it is I who am telling the truth or whether it is you who are telling the truth.

⁵¹ But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never die!”

⁵² Then the Jewish leaders SYN, thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death, said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon controls you! Abraham and the prophets died long ago! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die!

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.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵² Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

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.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵² Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

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.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵² Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

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.

⁴³ Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.

⁴⁴ You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

⁴⁵ But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

⁴⁶ Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

⁴⁷ He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

⁴⁸ The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

⁴⁹ And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

⁵⁰ I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

⁵¹ Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

⁵² The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death.

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.

⁴³ Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of the devil, as your father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:

⁴⁵ and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.

⁵⁰ But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death.

⁵² The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death.

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:

⁴³ Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

⁴⁵ But if I say the truth, you believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.

⁵⁰ But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹ Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.

⁵² The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.

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.

⁴³ Why do you not understand what I say? Because you are unable to hear My word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well that You are a Samaritan, and You have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

⁵⁰ And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks it and who judges.

⁵¹ Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall by no means experience death.”

⁵² Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall by no means taste death.’

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.

⁴³ Why don't you understand what I say?—because you are not able to really hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and it is the desires of your father that you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar and the father of lying.

⁴⁵ But since I speak the truth you do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? So if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ The one who is of God hears God's words; that is why you do not hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon—are we wrong?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered: “ I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ Yet I do not seek my glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone should keep my word he will never ever see death.”

⁵² So the Jews said to Him: “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘If anyone should keep my word he will never ever taste death’!

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.

⁴³ Why can't you understand what I'm saying? It's because you refuse to hear my message!

⁴⁴ Your father is the Devil, and you love to follow your father's evil desires. He was a murderer from the beginning. He never stood for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies he reveals his true character, for he's a liar and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ So because I tell you the truth, you don't believe me!

⁴⁶ Can any one of you prove that I'm guilty of sin? If I'm telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?

⁴⁷ Anyone who belongs to God listens to what God says. The reason you don't listen is because you don't belong to God.”

⁴⁸ “Aren't we right to call you a Samaritan who is demon-possessed?” said the Jews.

⁴⁹ “No, I don't have a demon,” Jesus replied. “I honor my Father, but you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ I'm not here looking to glorify myself. But there is one who does this for me and who judges in my favor.

⁵¹ I tell you the truth, anyone who follows my teaching will never die.”

⁵² “Now we know you're demon-possessed,” said the Jews. “Abraham died, and the prophets did too, and you're telling us ‘anyone who follows my teaching will never die’!

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.

⁴³ Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?

⁴⁹ Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.

⁵⁰ And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.

⁵¹ Verely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my word, he shall neuer see death.

⁵² Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death.

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.

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

⁵⁰ And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

⁵² Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

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.

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my language? It is because ye cannot listen to my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the Devil, and what your father desireth ye are ready to do. He was a murderer from the beginning; and he abideth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁴⁵ But because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I speak truth, Why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth God's words; for this cause ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.

⁵⁰ But I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹ Truly, truly do I say to you, If any one keep my word, he will never see death.

⁵² The Jews said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he will never taste of death.

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.

⁴³ How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

⁴⁴ As for you, you are children of your Father the devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.

⁴⁵ But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then don't you believe me, if I am speaking truth?

⁴⁷ The person who comes from God listens to God's teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.”

⁴⁸ “Aren't we right, after all,” replied the people, “in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?”

⁴⁹ “I am not possessed by a demon,” Jesus answered, “but I am honouring my Father; and yet you dishonour me.

⁵⁰ Not that I am seeking honour for myself; there is one who is seeking my honour, and he decides.

⁵¹ In truth I tell you, if anyone lays my message to heart, he will never really die.”

⁵² “Now we are sure that you are possessed by a demon,” the people replied. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say ‘If anyone lays my message to heart, they will never know death.’

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.

⁴³ How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

⁴⁴ As for you, you are children of your Father the devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.

⁴⁵ But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then don't you believe me, if I am speaking truth?

⁴⁷ The person who comes from God listens to God's teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.”

⁴⁸ “Aren't we right, after all,” replied the people, “in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?”

⁴⁹ “I am not possessed by a demon,” Jesus answered, “but I am honoring my Father; and yet you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ Not that I am seeking honor for myself; there is one who is seeking my honor, and he decides.

⁵¹ In truth I tell you, if anyone lays my message to heart, he will never really die.”

⁵² “Now we are sure that you are possessed by a demon,” the people replied. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say ‘If anyone lays my message to heart, they will never know death.’

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.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your Abba father, the devil, and you want to do the epithumia ·lusts, desires· of 'Avikah ·your Father·. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews Praisers answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan person from Watch-mountain, and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Yeshua Salvation answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor 'Avi ·my Father·, and you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵² Then the Jews Praisers said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham Father of a multitude died, and the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

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.

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

⁴⁴ He was a murtherer from the beginnynge and aboode not in the trueth because ther is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye then speaketh he of his awne. For he is a lyar and the father therof.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the trueth therfore ye beleve me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you can rebuke me of synne? If I saye the trueth why do not ye beleve me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth goddes wordes Ye therfore heare them not because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: Saye we not well that thou arte a Samaritane and hast the devyll?

⁴⁹ Iesus answered: I have not the devyll: but I honour my father and ye have dishonoured me.

⁵⁰ I seke not myne awne prayse: but ther is one that seketh and iudgeth.

⁵¹ Verely verely I saye vnto you yf a man kepe my sayinges he shall never se deeth.

⁵² Then sayde the Iewes to him: Now knowe we that thou hast the devyll. Abraham is deed and also the Prophetes: and yet thou sayest yf a man kepe my sayinge he shall never tast of deeth.

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.

⁴³ Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.

⁴⁴ You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.

⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵² The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

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.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵² Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

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.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵² Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

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.

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.

⁵⁰ And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death.

⁵² Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste death.

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.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Judeans answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Yeshua answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

⁴⁸ Then the Judeans answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁹ Yeshua answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

⁵² Then the Judeans said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

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.

⁴³ Why know ye not my speech? for ye may not hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye be of the father, the devil, and ye will do the desires of your father. He was a manslayer from the begin-ning, and he stood not in truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaketh leasing, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and father of it.

⁴⁵ But for I say truth, ye believe not to me.

⁴⁶ Who of you shall reprove me of sin? if I say truth, why believe ye not to me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth the words of God; therefore ye hear not, for ye be not of God.

⁴⁸ Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, Whether we say not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, and said, I have not a devil, but I honour my Father, and ye have unhonoured me.

⁵⁰ For I seek not my glory; there is he, that seeketh, and deemeth.

⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end.

⁵² Therefore the Jews said, Now we have known, that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end.

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.)

⁴³ Why know ye not my speech? for ye may not hear my word. (Why do ye not understand what I say? because ye cannot hear, or ye cannot listen to, my words.)

⁴⁴ Ye be of the father, the devil, and ye will do the desires of your father. He was a manslayer from the beginning, and he stood not in (the) truth; for (the) truth is not in him. When he speaketh leasing, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and (the) father of it, (or When he speaketh lies, he speaketh his own language; for he is a liar, and the father of them).

⁴⁵ But for I say (the) truth, ye believe not to me. (But because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.)

⁴⁶ Who of you shall reprove me of sin? if I say (the) truth, why believe ye not to me? (Who of you can prove me guilty of sin? or can convict me of sin? if I speak the truth, then why do ye not believe me?)

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth the words of God; therefore ye hear not, (or and so ye cannot hear, or and so ye will not listen), for ye be not of God.

⁴⁸ Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, Whether we say not well (or Do we not rightly, or correctly, say), that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, and said, I have not a devil, but I honour my Father, and ye have unhonoured me. (Jesus answered, and said, I do not have a devil, or I am not possessed, and I honour my Father, but ye dishonour me.)

⁵⁰ For I seek not my glory; there is he, that seeketh, and deemeth. (Because I do not seek my own glory; but there is He, who seeketh it, and judgeth for me.)

⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keep my word(s), he shall not taste death into without end. (Truly, I tell you the truth, if any man obey my words, he shall never taste death or he shall never die.)

⁵² Therefore the Jews said, Now we have known, that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any man keep my word(s), (or If any man obey my words), he shall not taste death into without end.

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.

⁴³ Whi knowen ye not my speche? for ye moun not here my word.

⁴⁴ Ye ben of the fadir, the deuel, and ye wolen do the desyris of youre fadir. He was a mansleere fro the bigynnyng, and he stood not in treuthe; for treuthe is not in hym. Whanne he spekith lesyng, he spekith of his owne; for he is a liere, and fadir of it.

⁴⁵ But for Y seie treuthe, ye bileuen not to me.

⁴⁶ Who of you schal repreue me of synne? if Y sey treuthe, whi bileuen ye not to me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God, herith the wordis of God; therfor ye heren not, for ye ben not of God.

⁴⁸ Therfor the Jewis answeriden, and seiden, Whether we seien not wel, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a deuel?

⁴⁹ Jhesus answerde, and seide, Y haue not a deuel, but Y onoure my fadir, and ye han vnhonourid me.

⁵⁰ For Y seke not my glorye; there is he, that sekith, and demeth.

⁵¹ Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, if ony man kepe my word, he schal not taste deth with outen ende.

⁵² Therfor the Jewis seiden, Now we han knowun, that thou hast a deuel. Abraham is deed, and the prophetis, and thou seist, If ony man kepe my word, he schal not taste deth withouten ende.

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;

⁴³ wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

⁴⁴ 'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.

⁴⁵ 'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷ he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

⁴⁸ The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;

⁵⁰ and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

⁵¹ verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.'

⁵² The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age!
