8:22. The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go you cannot come? 8:23. And he said to them: You are from beneath: I am from above. You are of this world: I am not of this world. 8:24. Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin. 8:25. They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you. 8:26. Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world. 8:27. And they understood not that he called God his Father. 8:28. Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up, the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself. But as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak. 8:29. And he that sent me is with me: and he hath not left me alone. For I do always the things that please him. 8:30. When he spoke these things, many believed in him. 8:31. Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. 8:32. And you shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free. 8:33. 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? 8:34. Jesus answered them: Amen, amen, I say unto you that whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 8:35. Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the son abideth for ever. 8:36. If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. 8:37. I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 8:38. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father. 8:39. 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. 8:40. 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. 8:41. You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God. 8:42. 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. 8:43. Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. 8:44. You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 8:45. But if I say the truth, you believe me not. 8:46. Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me:
