[8:33] 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?'"
[8:34] Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin. [8:35] A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever. A son remains forever. [8:36] If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. [8:37] I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. [8:38] I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father."
[8:39] They answered him, "Our father is Abraham."
Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. [8:40] 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. [8:41] You do the works of your father."
They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
[8:42] 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. [8:43] Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't hear my word. [8:44] 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. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father. [8:45] But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me. [8:46] Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? [8:47] He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God."
[8:48] Then the Jews answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
[8:49] Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. [8:50] But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges. [8:51] Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death."
[8:52] Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' [8:53] Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
[8:54] Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God. [8:55] You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word. [8:56] Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
