33. They answered Him, “We are the seed of Aḇraham, and have been servants to no one at any time. How do you say, ‘You shall become free’?”
34. יהושע answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone doing sin is a servant of sin.
35. “And the servant does not stay in the house forever – a son stays forever.
36. “If, then, the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
37. “I know that you are the seed of Aḇraham, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
38. “I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
39. They answered and said to Him, “Aḇraham is our father.” יהושע said to them, “If you were Aḇraham’s children, you would do the works of Aḇraham.
40. “But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has spoken to you the truth which I heard from Elohim. Aḇraham did not do this.
41. “You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of whoring, we have one Father: Elohim.”
42. יהושע said to them, “If Elohim were your Father, you would love Me, for I came forth from Elohim, and am here. For I have not come of Myself, but He sent Me.
43. “Why do you not know what I say? Because you are unable to hear My Word.
44. “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you wish to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.
45. “And because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.
46. “Who of you proves Me wrong concerning sin? And if I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
47. “He who is of Elohim hears the Words of Elohim, therefore you do not hear because you are not of Elohim.”
