    Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed in him : 'If ye abide in my word , ye are truly my disciples , and shall know the truth ; and the truth shall make you free / They answered him : 6 We are Abraham ' s offspring , and were never slaves to any one ; how sayest thou , "Ye shall be made free ? " ' Jesus answered them : * Verily , verily , I say ^ u ^ to ^ yQUji ^¦ very one who committeth sinTis a sla ^^ f ^ iF ~ I ^ vTEe slave abideth not in the house for ever ; the son abideth [ there ] forever . If then the son make

    you free , ye shall be free indeed . I know that ye are Abraham ' s offspring ; but ye seek to kill me , because my word hath no place in you . That which I have seen with my father , I speak ; and that which ye have seen with your father , ye do . ' They answered and said unto him : ' Abraham is our father / Jesus saith unto them : ' If ye were Abraham ' s children , ye would do the works of Abraham . But now ye seek to kill me , a man , who have spoken to you the truth , which I have heard from God ; this Abraham did not . Ye do the works of your father / Then said they unto him : * We were not born of fornication ; we have one fatheiV

    God / Jesus said unto them ; 'If God were your father , ye would love me ) for I came forth , and [ even now ] come from God ; nor came I of myself , but he sent me .

    his own ; for his father also is a liar . But because I speak the truth , ye believe me not . Which of you convicteth me of sin [ i . e . falsehood ]? and if I speak the truth , why do ye not believe me ? He who is of God , heareth [ or is willing to hear ] God ' s words ; therefore ye hear not , because ye are not of God .

    not a demon , but I honour rny father * and ye dishonour me . I seek not mine own glory ; there is one who seeketh and judgeth . Verily , verily , I say unto you : If any keep my word , he shall never see death / Then said the Jews unto him : Now we know that thou hast a demon . Abraham is dead , and the prophets ; yet thou sayest : " If any keep my word , he shall never taste of death ; " art thou greater than our father Abraham , who is dead ?
