- Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
- And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
- They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
- Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
- And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
|
- So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;
- and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
- They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?"
- Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
- "The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.
|
- If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
- I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
- I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
- 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.
- 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.
|
- "So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
- "I know that you are Abraham's descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
- "I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father."
- 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.
- "But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.
|
- Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
- 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.
- Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
- 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.
- And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
|
- "You are doing the deeds of your father " They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God."
- Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.
- "Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.
- "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
- "But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.
|
- Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
- He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
- Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
- Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
- And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
|
- "Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
- "He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God."
- The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
- Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
- "But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
|
- Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
- 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.
- Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
- 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:
- 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.
|
- "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death."
- The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.'
- "Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?"
- Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God';
- and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.
|
- Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
- Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
- Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
- 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.
|
- "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."
- So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
- Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."
- Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.
