25. They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.
26. I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.
27. They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.
28. Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.
29. And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
30. As he spake these things, many believed on him.
31. Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;
32. and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33. They answered unto him, We be Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34. Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.
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.
