36Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.
37I know that you are descendants of Abraham, but you are wanting to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
38On my part, I speak what I have observed with my Father, while on your part you do what you have observed with your father.”
39They 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;
40but 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!
41You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
42So 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.
43Why don't you understand what I say?—because you are not able to really hear my word.
44You 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.
45But since I speak the truth you do not believe me.
46Which of you convicts me of sin? So if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47The one who is of God hears God's words; that is why you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
48So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon—are we wrong?”
49Jesus answered: “ I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor me.
50Yet I do not seek my glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
51Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone should keep my word he will never ever see death.”
52So 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’!
