John 8:33-39 ▼

33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

35 Now the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.

37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you are seeking to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

38 I speak of the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”

39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.
