because I do always the
things that please him. (30)As he spoke these words many believed on
him.

(31)Jesus therefore said to those Jews who have believed him: If ye
continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples; (32)and ye shall know
the truth, and the truth will make you free. (33)They answered him: We
are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to any one. How
sayest thou: Ye shall be made free? (34)Jesus answered them: Verily,
verily, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a servant of sin.
(35)And the servant abides not in the house forever. (36)The Son
abides forever; if therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be
free indeed. (37)I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to
kill me, because my word has no place in you. (38)I speak what I have
seen with my Father; and ye therefore do what ye have heard from your
father.

(39)They answered and said to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus says
to them: If ye were children of Abraham, ye would do the works of
Abraham. (40)But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken to you
the truth, which I heard from God. This Abraham did not. (41)Ye do the
works of your father. They said to him: We were not born of
fornication; we have one father, God. (42)Jesus said to them: If God

understand my speech? Because ye can not 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 abides not in the truth, because
truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own;
because he is a liar, and the father of it. (45)And because I speak
the truth, ye believe me not.

(46)Which of you convicts me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not
believe me? (47)He that is of God hears God's words; ye therefore hear
not, because ye are not of God.

(48)The Jews answered and said to him: Say we not well, that thou art
a Samaritan, and hast a demon? (49)Jesus answered: I have not a demon;
but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. (50)And I seek not my own
glory; there is one that seeks, and judges. (51)Verily, verily, I say
to you, if any one keep my saying, he shall not see death, forever.
(52)The Jews said to him: Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham
is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If a man keep my saying,
he shall not tast
