John 10:22-39
I and the Father Are One
22At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; 23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of aSolomon. 24aThe Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long 1will You keep us in suspense? If You are the 2Christ, tell us bopenly.” 25Jesus answered them, “aI told you, and you do not believe; bthe works that I do in My Father’s name, these bear witness of Me. 26“But you do not believe because ayou are not of My sheep. 27“My sheep ahear My voice, and bI know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give aeternal life to them, and they will never perish—ever; and bno one will snatch them out of My hand. 29“1My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30“aI and the Father are 1one.”
31The Jews apicked up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” 33The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for ablasphemy; and because You, being a man, bmake Yourself God.” 34Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in ayour bLaw, ‘cI said, you are gods’? 35“If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36do you say of Him, whom the Father asanctified and bsent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘cI am the Son of God’? 37“aIf I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe athe works, so that you may know and continue knowing that bthe Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” 39Therefore athey were seeking again to seize Him, and bHe eluded their grasp.
