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

22 And the feast of the dedication came at Jerusalem. It was winter; 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomons porch. 24 Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our minds in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.

25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Fathers name, these bear witness of me. 26 But ye do not believe, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; 28 and I give them everlasting life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one tear them out of my hand. 29 That which my Father hath given me is greater than all; and no one is able to tear [them] out of the Fathers hand. 30 I and the Father are one.

31 The Jews again took up stones to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, Not for a good work do we stone thee, but for blasphemy, and because thou, who art a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, "I said, ye are gods"? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be made void, 36 say ye of him whom the Father 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 them, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. 39 They sought therefore to seize him; and he went forth out of their hands.

40 And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing; and there he abode. 41 And many came to him, and said, John indeed wrought no sign; but everything that John said of this man was true. 42 And many believed in him there.
