008:022 The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?'" 008:023 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. 008:024 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM he, you will die in your sins." 008:025 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 008:026 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world." 008:027 They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father. 008:028 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things. 008:029 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him." 008:030 As he spoke these things, many believed in him. 008:031 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. 008:032 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."{Psalm 119:45} 008:033 They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'" 008:034 Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin. 008:035 A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever. A son remains forever. 008:036 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 008:037 I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. 008:038 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father." 008:039 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. 008:040 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn't do this. 008:041 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God." 008:042 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me. 008:043 Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't hear my word. 008:044 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 doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
