Read John 8.31-38. In verses 31-33: The promise has two dimensions: knowing the truth will make them free, and knowing the truth (the Son, 8.36) will make them free. In verse 34: They were slaves to sin (see Rom 6.15; 2 Peter 2.19). In verses 35-36; see Gen 21.9-10; Ex 21.2; Deut 15.12; compare Gal 4.1-7; Heb 3.5-6. A proverbial saying; the permanent status of the son (the heir) guarantees lasting freedom. In verse 37: The paradox: They are Abraham's seed, but they seek to kill Jesus (see 5.18; 7.1, 19-20, 25) which them at odds with Abraham (see 8.39-40). In verse 38:The contrast: Jesus does what he has seen from his Father (God compare 3.11-13, 32, 35; 5.19-20, 37) which the Jews do what they have heard from their father (the devil 8.41, 44; 1 Jn 3.8, 10, 12).
