In context
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. 36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37I know you are Abraham’s offspring. Yet you are trying to kill me, because my word finds no room in you.
