Bible verse
“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
John 8:33 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 8.
29 He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
30 As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
31 So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 “We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35 A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
