John 8
31 - 59 Jesus and Abraham
The Jews tell Jesus that since they are descendents of Abraham, they have never been slaves to anyone. Jesus replies, "Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin." (34) The Jews become increasingly hostile when Jesus refers to the Father (they say Abraham is their father). He ends the arguement by stating, "Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am." (58) The crowd was about to stone him, but he hid and left the temple.
