John 8 31-34
31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. I thought it strange in verse 33 when the people said, they were never in bondage to any man. They were under Roman rule at the time, and ruled by others in the past. Am I missing something?
