ヨハネの福音書 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Study Note
Jesus's declaration 'you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free' is addressed to Jews who had 'believed in him' (verse 30), yet Jesus immediately challenges the adequacy of their faith. In Johannine theology, 'truth' (aletheia) is not primarily propositional but personal — Jesus claims to be 'the truth' in 14:6 — making freedom a consequence of relationship with him. The audience's response — 'we are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves' — reveals a misunderstanding: Jesus speaks of moral and spiritual slavery to sin (verse 34). The verse's wide cultural use as a motto for academic and press freedom represents a legitimate but partial reading that extracts the principle of truth-as-liberating from its specifically christological Johannine context.
