John 8:33

¶They answered him, uWe be Abraham's seed, and vwere never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

¶They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

NKJV: They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”

ESV: They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”
