John 8:30-47
The Truth Will Set You Free

30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

30:

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;

31:

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

32:

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?

33:

34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

34:

35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: [but] the Son abideth ever.

35:

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

36:

37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

37:

38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

38:

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.

39:

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

40:

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.

41:

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

42:

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.

43:

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.

44:

45 And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.

45:

46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

46:

47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.

47:
