真正的自由
31 耶穌對信祂的猶太人說：「你們若持守我的道，就真是我的門徒了。 32 你們必認識真理，真理必叫你們得到自由。」
33 他們說：「我們是亞伯拉罕的子孫，從來沒有做過奴隸，你為什麼說我們可以得到自由呢？」
34 耶穌說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，所有犯罪的人都是罪的奴隸。 35 奴隸不能永遠留在主人的家裡，只有兒子才可以。 36 所以，如果上帝的兒子釋放了你們，你們就真正自由了！
耶穌和亞伯拉罕
37 「我知道你們是亞伯拉罕的子孫，但你們卻想殺我，因為你們心裡容不下我的道。 38 我所說的，是我從父那裡看到的，你們卻照著你們父[a]的話去做。」
39 他們說：「我們的父就是亞伯拉罕！」
耶穌說：「你們如果真是亞伯拉罕的子孫，一定會做他所做的事。 40 我把從上帝那裡聽到的真理告訴你們，你們反要殺我，亞伯拉罕絕不做這樣的事。 41 你們是在作你們父所做的事。」
他們說：「我們不是從淫亂生的！我們只有一位父，就是上帝。」
42 耶穌說：「如果上帝是你們的父，你們一定會愛我，因為我來自上帝。如今我在這裡，我不是憑自己來的，而是上帝差我來的， 43 你們為什麼不明白我的話呢？因為你們聽不進去我的道。 44 你們是出於你們的父魔鬼，你們樂意順著牠的私慾行。魔鬼從起初就是個殺人兇手，從不站在真理這一邊，因為牠心裡根本沒有真理。撒謊是牠的本性，因為牠是撒謊者，又是撒謊者的始祖。 45 所以，我講真理的時候，你們不信我。 46 你們誰能指證我有罪呢？我既然把真理告訴了你們，你們為什麼還不信我呢？ 47 出於上帝的人聽上帝的話，你們不聽上帝的話，因為你們不是出於上帝。」
48 猶太人對祂說：「我們說你是撒瑪利亞人[b]，被鬼附身了，難道不對嗎？」
49 耶穌說：「我沒有被鬼附身。我尊敬我的父，你們卻侮辱我。 50 我不為自己尋求榮耀，但有一位會為我尋求，祂也會斷定誰是誰非。 51 我實實在在地告訴你們，人如果遵行我的道，必永遠不死。」
52 那些猶太人說：「現在我們的確知道你是被鬼附身了！亞伯拉罕和眾先知都死了，你還說人如果遵行你的道，必永遠不死。 53 難道你比我們的祖先亞伯拉罕還大嗎？他死了，先知們也死了，你以為你是誰？」
54 耶穌說：「如果我為自己爭取榮耀，那榮耀算不了什麼。但使我得榮耀的是我的父，你們也稱祂為你們的上帝。 55 你們不認識祂，我卻認識祂。如果我說我不認識祂，那我就像你們一樣是說謊的。然而，我認識祂，並且遵行祂的道。 56 你們的祖先亞伯拉罕曾經歡歡喜喜地盼望看到我來的日子。他看見了，就歡喜快樂。」
57 猶太人說：「你還不到五十歲，怎麼會見過亞伯拉罕呢？」
58 耶穌說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，亞伯拉罕還沒有出生，我就已經存在了[c]。」 59 於是，他們就拿起石頭要打祂，耶穌卻避開他們，離開了聖殿。

Dispute Over Whose Children Jesus’ Opponents Are
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching,(A) you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”(B)
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants(C) and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.(D) 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.(E) 36 So if the Son sets you free,(F) you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me,(G) because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence,(H) and you are doing what you have heard from your father.[a]”(I)
39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.
“If you were Abraham’s children,”(J) said Jesus, “then you would[b] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me,(K) a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.(L) Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”(M)
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”(N)
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,(O) for I have come here from God.(P) I have not come on my own;(Q) God sent me.(R) 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil,(S) and you want to carry out your father’s desires.(T) He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.(U) 45 Yet because I tell the truth,(V) you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says.(W) The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Jesus’ Claims About Himself
48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan(X) and demon-possessed?”(Y)
49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory for myself;(Z) but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”(AA)
52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed!(AB) Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham?(AC) He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself,(AD) my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.(AE) 55 Though you do not know him,(AF) I know him.(AG) If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.(AH) 56 Your father Abraham(AI) rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it(AJ) and was glad.”
57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born,(AK) I am!”(AL) 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him,(AM) but Jesus hid himself,(AN) slipping away from the temple grounds.

John 8:31-59
King James Version
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
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?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
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.
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.
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.
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.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
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.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
