John 8:29-46
29And He who sentG3992 Me is with Me; 1He 2has not leftG863 Me aloneG3441, for 3I alwaysG3842 doG4160 the thingsG701 that are pleasingG701 to Him.” 30As He spokeG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 4manyG4183 came to believeG4100 in Him.
31SoG3767 JesusG2424 was sayingG3004 to thoseG3588 JewsG2453 who had believedG4100 Him, “5IfG1437 you continueG3306 in My wordG3056, then you are trulyG230 6disciplesG3101 of MineG1473; 32and 7you will knowG1097 the truthG225, and 8the truthG225 will makeG1659 you freeG1659.” 33They answeredG611 Him, “9We 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, 10everyoneG3956 who commitsG4160 sinG266 is the slaveG1401 of sinG266. 3511The slaveG1401 does not remainG3306 in the houseG3614 foreverG165; 12the sonG5207 does remainG3306 foreverG165. 36SoG3767 ifG1437 the SonG5207 13makesG1659 you freeG1659, you will be freeG1658 indeedG3689. 37I knowG3609 that you are 14Abraham’sG11 descendantsG4690; yetG235 15you seekG2212 to killG615 Me, becauseG3754 My wordG3056 16hasG5562 noG3756 placeG5562 in you. 38I speakG2980 the things whichG3739 I have seenG3708 17with My FatherG3962; thereforeG3767 you alsoG2532 doG4160 the things whichG3739 you heardG191 from 18your fatherG3962.”
39They answeredG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “AbrahamG11 is 19our fatherG3962.” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “20IfG1487 you are Abraham’sG11 childrenG5043, doG4160 the deedsG2041 of AbrahamG11. 40But as it is, 21you are seekingG2212 to killG615 Me, a manG444 whoG3739 has 22toldG2980 you the truthG225, whichG3739 I heardG191 from GodG2316; thisG3778 AbrahamG11 did not doG4160. 41You are doingG4160 the deedsG2041 of 23your fatherG3962.” They saidG3004 to Him, “We were not bornG1080 of fornicationG4202; 24we haveG2192 oneG1520 FatherG3962: GodG2316.” 42JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “IfG1487 GodG2316 were your FatherG3962, 25you would loveG25 Me, 26for I proceededG1831 forthG1831 and haveG2240 comeG2240 from GodG2316, for I have 27not evenG3761 comeG2064 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683, but 2829He sentG649 Me. 43WhyG1223G5101 do you not understandG1097 3031whatG2981 I am sayingG2981? It is becauseG3754 you cannotG1410G3756 32hearG191 My wordG3056. 4433You are of 34your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, and 35you wantG2309 to doG4160 the desiresG1939 of your fatherG3962. 36He was a murdererG443 from the beginningG746, and does not standG4739 in the truthG225 becauseG3754 37there is noG3756 truthG225 in him. WheneverG3752 he speaksG2980 38a lieG5579, he 39speaksG2980 from his ownG2398 nature, for he is a liarG5583 and the fatherG3962 of 40liesG846. 45But becauseG3754 41I speakG3004 the truthG225, you do not believeG4100 Me. 46WhichG5101 oneG5101 of you convictsG1651 Me of sinG266? IfG1487 42I speakG3004 truthG225, whyG1223G5101 do you not believeG4100 Me?
