John 8:23-38

23And He was sayingG3004 to them, “1You are from belowG2736, I amG1510 from aboveG507; 2you are of thisG3778 worldG2889, 3I amG1510 not of thisG3778 worldG2889. 24ThereforeG3767 I saidG3004 to you that you 4will dieG599 in your sinsG266; for unlessG1437G3361 you believeG4100 that 56I amG1510 He, 7you will dieG599 in your sinsG266.” 25SoG3767 they were sayingG3004 to Him, “WhoG5101 are You?” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “8WhatG3739G5101 have I been sayingG2980 to you from the beginningG746? 26I haveG2192 manyG4183 thingsG4183 to speakG2980 and to judgeG2919 concerningG4012 you, but 9He who sentG3992 Me is trueG227; and 10the things whichG3739 I heardG191 from Him, theseG3778 I speakG2980 to the worldG2889.” 27They did not realizeG1097 that He had been speakingG3004 to them about the FatherG3962. 28SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004, “WhenG3752 you 11liftG5312 up the SonG5207 of ManG444, thenG5119 you will knowG1097 that 1213I amG1510 He, and 14I doG4160 nothingG3762 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683, but I speakG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778 as the FatherG3962 taughtG1321 Me. 29And He who sentG3992 Me is with Me; 15He 16has not leftG863 Me aloneG3441, for 17I alwaysG3842 doG4160 the thingsG701 that are pleasingG701 to Him.” 30As He spokeG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 18manyG4183 came to believeG4100 in Him.

31SoG3767 JesusG2424 was sayingG3004 to thoseG3588 JewsG2453 who had believedG4100 Him, “19IfG1437 you continueG3306 in My wordG3056, then you are trulyG230 20disciplesG3101 of MineG1473; 32and 21you will knowG1097 the truthG225, and 22the truthG225 will makeG1659 you freeG1659.” 33They answeredG611 Him, “23We are Abraham’sG11 descendantsG4690 and have neverG3762G4455 yetG4455 been enslavedG1398 to anyoneG3762; howG4459 is it that You sayG3004, ‘You will becomeG1096 freeG1658’?”

34JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 24everyoneG3956 who commitsG4160 sinG266 is the slaveG1401 of sinG266. 3525The slaveG1401 does not remainG3306 in the houseG3614 foreverG165; 26the sonG5207 does remainG3306 foreverG165. 36SoG3767 ifG1437 the SonG5207 27makesG1659 you freeG1659, you will be freeG1658 indeedG3689. 37I knowG3609 that you are 28Abraham’sG11 descendantsG4690; yetG235 29you seekG2212 to killG615 Me, becauseG3754 My wordG3056 30hasG5562 noG3756 placeG5562 in you. 38I speakG2980 the things whichG3739 I have seenG3708 31with My FatherG3962; thereforeG3767 you alsoG2532 doG4160 the things whichG3739 you heardG191 from 32your fatherG3962.”
