I am he and that I do nothing of
myself. But as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak.

8:29. And he that sent me is with me: and he hath not left me alone. For
I do always the things that please him.

8:30. When he spoke these things, many believed in him.

8:31. Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed him: If you continue in
my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.

8:32. And you shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free.

8:33. They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham: and we have never
been slaves to any man. How sayest thou: You shall be free?

8:34. Jesus answered them: Amen, amen, I say unto you that whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin.

8:35. Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the son
abideth for ever.

8:36. If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free
indeed.

8:37. I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill

8:42. Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would
indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of
myself: but he sent me.

8:43. Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.

8:44. You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father
you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in
the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

8:45. But if I say the truth, you believe me not.

8:46. Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you,
why do you not believe me:

8:47. He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear
them not, because you are not of God.

8:48. The Jews therefore answered and said to him: Do not we say well
that thou art a Samaritan and hast a devil?

8:49. Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father. And
