This is an idiom that means "to obey Jesus." AT: "obey what I have said" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# my disciples

"my followers"

# the truth will set you free

This is personification. Jesus speaks of "the truth" as if it were a person. AT: "if you obey the truth, God will set you free" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

# the truth

This refers to what Jesus reveals about God. AT: "what is true about God."

# how can you say, 'You will be set free'?

This remark appears in the form of a question to express the Jewish leaders' shock at what Jesus has said. AT: "We do not need to be set free!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
