John 10:22-42 - Jesus At The Feast Of The Dedication
22 It was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem. 23 It was wintertime. Jesus was walking in the temple on Solomon's porch (the Colonnade of Solomon). 24 The Jews came to him and asked: How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus replied: I told you and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness of me. 26 You do not believe because you are not my sheep! 27 My sheep hear my voice. I know them and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life. They will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father has given them to me. He is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 The Father and I are one (united in purpose).
31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus replied to them: I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered him: We do not stone you for good work but for blasphemy. You are a man and you make yourself like God. (John 1:1)
34 Jesus said: Is it not written in your law, I said, you are 'god-like ones'? 35 So if he called them 'god-like ones,' those to whom the word of God came, and the Scriptures may not be annulled, 36 do you say to the one whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, you blaspheme? And this because I said, I am the Son of God. (Psalm 82:1, 6) (John 1:34; 5:18) (Luke 1:35) 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me. 38 But if I do them and you do not believe me, believe the works! That way you may know and understand that the Father is with me, and I am with the Father. 39 They tried again to capture him but he escaped from them.
40 He traveled beyond the Jordan into the place where John first baptized and stayed there. 41 Many came to him and they said: John indeed did not perform a single miracle. Yet everything John said about this man was true. 42 Many believed in him there.
