John 8 — Context

They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?

Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.

And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever.

If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

I know that you are Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.

They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
