26
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him."
27
They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.
28
Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.
29
And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."
30
As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.
31
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
32
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
33
They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free'?"
34
Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
35
And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
36
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
