8:33¶ They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

8:34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

8:35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

8:36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

8:37I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

8:38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

8:39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

8:40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

8:41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

8:42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

8:43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

8:44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

8:45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

8:46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

8:47He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

8:48Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Selected passage

8:50And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

8:51Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

8:52Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

8:53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

8:54Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

8:55Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

8:56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

8:57Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

8:58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

8:59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
