John 8
31 Yeshua therefore said to those Yehudim who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my talmidim. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." 33 They answered him, "We are Avraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'" 34 Yeshua answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin. 35 A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever. A son remains forever. 36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Avraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father." 39 They answered him, "Our father is Avraham." Yeshua said to them, "If you were Avraham's children, you would do the works of Avraham. 40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Avraham didn't do this. 41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God." 42 Therefore Yeshua said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't hear my word. 44 You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God." 48 Then the Yehudim answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Shomroni, and have a demon?" 49 Yeshua answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 Most assuredly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." 52 Then the Yehudim said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Avraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' 53 Are you greater than our father, Avraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?" 54 Yeshua answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God. 55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word. 56 Your father Avraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad." 57 The Yehudim therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Avraham?" 58 Yeshua said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, before Avraham came into existence, I AM." 59 They took up stones therefore to throw at him, but Yeshua was hidden, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
