. And He that sent Me is with
Me; He hath not left Me alone; for I do always the things that are
pleasing to Him. As He spake these things, many believed on Him.
Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed Him, If ye
abide in My word, then are ye truly My disciples; and ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered unto
Him, We be Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any
man: how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the
bondservant of sin. And the bondservant abideth not in the house for
ever: the son abideth for ever. If therefore the Son shall make you
