31Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, truly you are My disciples.
32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
33They answered Him, “We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will become free’?”
34Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly I say to you, that everyone that practices sin is a slave of sin.
35And a slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.
36Therefore 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.
38I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.”
39They 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.
40But 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.
41You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
42Therefore 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.
43Why do you not understand what I say? Because you are unable to hear My word.
44You 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.
45But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
46Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
47He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”
48Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well that You are a Samaritan, and You have a demon?”
49Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
