Discipleship and True Freedom

31

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.

32

And you shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free.

33

They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham: and we have never been slaves to any man. How sayest thou: You shall be free?

34

Jesus answered them: Amen, amen, I say unto you that whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

35

Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the son abideth for ever.

36

If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

37

I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

38

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.

39

They answered and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham.

40

But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.

41

You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.

42

Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of myself: but he sent me.

43

Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
