John 8:35-51 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

35. And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

36. If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

37. I know that ye are Abraham's seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

38. I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father.

39. They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

41. Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

42. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

43. Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

45. But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

46. Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

47. He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

48. The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

49. Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.

50. But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

51. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.
