# remain in my word
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]])
