29 And aHe who sent Me is with Me. bThe Father has not left Me alone, cfor I always do those things that please Him.”

The Truth Shall Make You Free

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you aabide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.  
32 And you shall know the atruth, and bthe truth shall make you free.”  
33 They answered Him, a“We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”  
34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, awhoever commits sin is a slave of sin.  
35 And aa slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.  
36 aTherefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.  

Abraham’s Seed and Satan’s

37 “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but ayou seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.  
38 aI speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have1 seen with your father.”

John 8:29

the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him, etc.—that is, To you, who gnash upon Me with your teeth, and frown down all open appearance for Me, I seem to stand uncountenanced and alone; but I have a sympathy and support transcending all human applause; I came hither to do My Father's will, and in the doing of it have not ceased to please Him; therefore is He ever by Me with His approving smile, His cheering words, His supporting arm.



John 8:28-30

When ye have lifted up the Son of man—The plainest intimation He had yet given in public of the manner and the authors of His death.

then shall ye know that I am he, etc.—that is, find out, or have sufficient evidence, how true was all He said, though they would be far from owning it.
