John 8:24-41
-
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
-
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
-
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
-
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
-
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
-
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
-
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
-
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my 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.
