John 8:32-43

³²and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

³³They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?

³⁴Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.

³⁵Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever.

³⁶If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.

³⁷I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.

³⁸I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father.

³⁹They 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;

⁴⁰but 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.

⁴¹Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.

⁴²Jesus 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.

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