34 Jesus answered, "I assure you that everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35 A slave isn’t a permanent member of the household, but a son is.
36 Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you really will be free.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s children, yet you want to kill me because you don’t welcome my teaching.
38 I’m telling you what I’ve seen when I am with the Father, but you are doing what you’ve heard from your father."
39 They replied, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus responded, "If you were Abraham’s children, you would do Abraham’s works.
40 Instead, you want to kill me, though I am the one who has spoken the truth I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
