John 832

John 8:32 is a verse from the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The verse reads: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." This statement is part of a dialogue between Jesus and a group of Jews who had believed in him, where Jesus discusses the concept of spiritual freedom through knowing the truth. The phrase "and ye shall know the truth" is often translated into Hebrew as "וְיָדַעְתֶּם אֶת הָאֱמֶת" (ve'yada'tem et ha'emet). In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, the verse is "καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς" (kai gnōsesethe tēn alētheian, kai hē alētheia eleutherōsei hymas). The verse has been widely interpreted and quoted, emphasizing the liberating power of truth in Christian theology. The context of this verse is significant as it follows Jesus' declaration in John 8:31, where he states that those who continue in his word are truly his disciples, implying that knowing the truth is an ongoing process tied to discipleship and spiritual growth.
