30. After Jesus said this, many of the people put their faith in him.
31. Jesus told the people who had faith in him, “If you keep on obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples.
32. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33. They answered, “We are Abraham's children! We have never been anyone's slaves. How can you say we will be set free?”
34. Jesus replied:I tell you for certain that anyone who sins is a slave of sin!
35. And slaves don't stay in the family for ever, though the Son will always remain in the family.
36. If the Son gives you freedom, you are free!
37. I know that you are from Abraham's family. Yet you want to kill me, because my message isn't really in your hearts.
38. I am telling you what my Father has shown me, just as you are doing what your father has taught you.
