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.
35And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always.
36If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
37I 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.
38I 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.
40But, 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.
41You 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.
43How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.
44As 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.
