34And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.
35Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.
36If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.
37I 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.
38I 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.
39In 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.
40But 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.
41You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.
42Jesus 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.
43Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.
44You 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.
45But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.
46Which 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?
47He 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.
48The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?
