Даниел 3: 14- 20, 91- 92, 95

3:14 And king Nebuchadnezzar addressed them and said, “Is it true, Схадрацх, Месхацх, and Abednego, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the gold statue, which I have set up?
3:15 Стога, if you are prepared now, whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, pipe, lute, harp and psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, prostrate yourselves and adore the statue which I have made. But if you will not adore, in the same hour you will be cast into the furnace of burning fire. And who is the God that will rescue you from my hand?”
3:16 Схадрацх, Месхацх, and Abednego answered and said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “It is not right for us to obey you in this matter.
3:17 For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to rescue us from the oven of burning fire and to free us from your hands, о краљу.
3:18 But even if he will not, let it be known to you, о краљу, that we will not worship your gods, nor adore the gold statue, which you have raised up.”
3:19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury and the appearance of his face was changed against Shadrach, Месхацх, and Abednego, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated to seven times its usual fire.
3:20 And he ordered the strongest men of his army to bind the feet of Shadrach, Месхацх, and Abednego, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
3:91 Then king Nebuchadnezzar was astonished, and he quickly got up and said to his nobles: “Did we not cast three men shackled into the midst of the fire?” Answering the king, Рекли су, “True, O king.”
3:92 He answered and said, „Ево, I see four men unbound and walking in the midst of the fire, and no harm is in them, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God.”
3:95 Then Nebuchadnezzar, bursting out, рекао, “Blessed is their God, the God of Shadrach, Месхацх, and Abednego, who sent his angel and rescued his servants who believed in him. And they altered the verdict of the king, and they delivered up their bodies, so that they would not serve or adore any god except their God.

Јохн 8: 31- 42

8:31 Стога, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him: “If you will abide in my word, you will truly be my disciples.
8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
8:33 Одговорили су му: “We are the offspring of Abraham, and we have never been a slave to anyone. Како можеш да кажеш, како можеш то да кажеш, ‘You shall be set free?’”
8:34 Исус им одговори: „Амин, амин, рекао сам ти, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
8:35 Now the slave does not abide in the house for eternity. Yet the Son does abide in eternity.
8:36 Стога, if the Son has set you free, then you will truly be free.
8:37 I know that you are sons of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word has not taken hold in you.
8:38 I speak what I have seen with my Father. And you do what you have seen with your father.”
8:39 Они су одговорили и рекли му, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them: “If you are the sons of Abraham, then do the works of Abraham.
8:40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
8:41 You do the works of your father.” Therefore, рекоше му: “We were not born out of fornication. We have one father: God.”
8:42 Тада им рече Исус: “If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from myself, but he sent me.
