Discipleship and True Freedom

31

Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,

32

And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.

33

They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?

34

Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.

35

And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer.

36

If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.

37

I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.

38

I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.

39

They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.

40

But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.

41

Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.

42

Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.

43

Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
