John 10:22-42 - Jesus At The Feast Of The Dedication
22 At that time came the Feast of Rededication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in Solomon's portico. 24 So the Jews surrounded Him and kept asking Him, "How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are really the Christ, tell us so plainly."
25 Jesus answered them, "I have already told you so, but you do not believe me. The works which I am doing on my Father's authority are my credentials, 26 but still you do not believe in me, for you do not belong to my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me, 28 and I give to them eternal life, and they shall never get lost, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. 29 My father who gave them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. 30 The Father and I are one."
31 The Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of them are you going to stone me?"
33 The Jews retorted, "It is not for a good deed but for blasphemy we are going to stone you; namely, because you, although a mere man, claim to be God."
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'? 35 If men to whom God's message came are called gods -- and the Scriptures cannot be made null and void -- 36 do you now say to me whom my Father has set apart to it and sent into the world, 'You are a blasphemer,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? 37 If I am not doing the things that my Father is doing, do not believe me. 38 But if I am doing so, even if you will not believe me, believe the deeds, that you may come to know and continue to know that the Father is in union with me and I am in union with the Father." 39 Once more they were trying to arrest Him, but He escaped from their hands.
40 He again crossed the Jordan at the place where John at first used to baptize, and there He stayed. 41 And many people came to Him and kept on saying, "John did not perform any wonder-works, but everything he ever said about this man was true." 42 And so many of them at that place believed in Him.
