8:32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free1.
8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily1, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin2.
8:35 And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever1: the son abideth for ever2.
8:36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed1.
8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed1: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you2.
8:38 I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father1: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.
8:39 They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham1. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham2.
8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth1, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.
8:41 Ye do the works of your father1. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God2.
8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me1: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech1? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word2.
8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil1, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do2. He was a murderer from the beginning3, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him4. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar5, and the father thereof.
8:45 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
8:46 Which of you convicteth me of sin1? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me2?
8:47 He that is of God heareth the words of God1: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God2.
8:48 The Jews answered and said unto him1, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon2?
8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me1.
8:50 But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth1.
8:51 Verily, verily1, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death2.
8:52 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon1. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death2.
8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself1?
8:54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing1: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;
8:55 and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar1: but I know him, and keep his word2.
8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day1; and he saw it, and was glad.
8:57 The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham1?
8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily1, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am2.
8:59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him1: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple2.
