31 Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth, 32 and the truth shall make you free.' 33 They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say -- Ye shall become free?'
34 Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you -- Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin, 35 and the servant doth not remain in the house -- to the age, the son doth remain -- to the age; 36 if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free. 37 `I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you; 38 I -- that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father -- ye do.'
