John 8:33-40

33They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”

34Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

35And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.

36Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

37“I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

38I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.”

39They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

40But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
