John 8:37 in Context — John 8

35 E o servo não fica em casa para sempre; o Filho fica para sempre.

36 Portanto, se o Filho vos libertar, verdadeiramente sereis livres.

37 Bem sei que sois descendência de Abraão; porém procurais matar-me, porque minha palavra não encontra lugar em vós.

38 Eu, o que vi junto a meu Pai, [isso] falo; e vós, o que também vistes junto a vosso pai [isso] fazeis.
