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.”  
39 They answered and said to Him, a“Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, b“If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.  
40 aBut now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth bwhich I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.  
41 You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; awe have one Father—God.”  
42 Jesus said to them, a“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for bI proceeded forth and came from God; cnor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.  
43 aWhy do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
