31. Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
32. and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
33. They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?
34. Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.
35. Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever.
36. If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
37. I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.
