In context
31Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you hold to my word, you are truly my disciples; 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and we have never been slaves to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will be set free’?” 34Jesus answered them, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. 35A slave has no lasting place in the household; a son belongs to it forever.
