word,
then
are ye my disciples indeed;
32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free.
33
They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how
sayest thou,
Ye shall be made free?
34
Jesus answered them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35
And the servant abideth not in the house for
ever:
but
the Son abideth ever.
36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them,
If ye were
Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that
hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41
Ye do the deeds of
your father.
Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father,
even
God.
42
Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came
from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43
Why do ye not understand my speech?
even
because ye cannot hear my word.
44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of
your
father ye
will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth
in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45
And
because I tell
you
the truth, ye believe me not.
46
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say
the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear
them
not, because ye are not of God.
48
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not
well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49
Jesus answered,
I have not a devil; but I honour
my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh
and judgeth.
51
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the
prophets; and thou sayest,
If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53
Art thou greater
than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54
Jesus answered,
If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of
whom ye say, that he is your God:
55
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should
say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56
Your
father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw
it,
and was glad.
57
Then said the Jews unto
him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58
Jesus said unto them,
Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but
Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
