John 8:31-33

New International Reader's Version

Challenge to the Claim to Be Children of Abraham

³¹ Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed him. “If you obey my teaching,” he said, “you are really my disciples. ³² Then you will know the truth. And the truth will set you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s children. We have never been slaves of anyone. So how can you say that we will be set free?”
