ere is thy father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me,
nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
(20)These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the
temple: and no person apprehended him; for his hour was not yet come.

(21)Then spake Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek
me, and shall die in your sin: whither I am going ye cannot come.
(22)The Jews said therefore, Will he kill himself? because he said,
Whither I go, ye cannot come. (23)And he said to them, Ye are from
those beneath; I am from those above: ye are of this world; I am not of
this world. (24)I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your
sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.
(25)They said, therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them,
Assuredly the same as I am telling you. (26)I have many things to speak
and to decide concerning you: but he that sent me is true; and the
things which I have heard from him I speak to the world. (27)They knew

Abraham's seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou,
That we shall be made free? (34)Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin.
(35)But the slave abideth not in the family for ever: but the son
abideth for ever. (36)If the Son therefore make you free, ye will be
truly free. (37)I know that ye are Abraham's seed; yet 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 do therefore what ye have seen with your father.
(39)They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith
unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the
works of Abraham. (40)But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told
