John 10:22-42 - Jesus At The Feast Of The Dedication

22 Now the feast of the dedication came on at Jerusalem: and it was winter. 23 And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's portico. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said to him, How long dost thou keep us in suspense?

25 If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I have told you; yet ye do not believe: the works that I do in my Father's name, they testify of me. 26 But, as I have told you, ye do not believe, because ye are not of my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who gave them me, is greater than all; and none shall pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.

31 Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father;

32 for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, We stone thee not for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? 35 If he call them gods, to whom the word of 36 God came (and the scripture cannot be broken) Say ye of him whom God hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, tho' ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to seize him; but he escaped out of their hand.

40 And he went away again beyond Jordan, to the place where John baptized at first, and there he abode. 41 And many came to him and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. 42 And many believed on him there.
