Jn 8:32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Jn 8:33: They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Jn 8:34: Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Jn 8:35: And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
Jn 8:36: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Jn 8:37: I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Jn 8:38: I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Jn 8:39: They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

Jn 8:41: Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jn 8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 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 of it.
Jn 8:45: And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
