John 8:33-40

33They answered him, "We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, 'You will become free'?"

34Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.

35The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.

36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

37I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.

38I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father."

39They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham did,

40but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
