John 10:22-42 - Jesus At The Feast Of The Dedication
22 Now it was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus was walking about the temple, in Solomon's portico. 24 Then the Jews came round Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou be the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe me: though the works that I do in the name of my Father, testify of me. 26 But ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep: for as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice, 27 and I know them, and they follow me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; nor shall any one force them out of my hand. 29 My Father who gave them to me, is greater than all: and therefore none is able to force them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone Him.
31 But Jesus said unto them,
32 Many good works have I shewn you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not go about to stone thee for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because thou being a man makest thyself God.
34 Jesus replied, Is it not written in your law, "I have said, ye are gods?" 35 And if it stiled them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be made void,) 36 do ye say of Him, whom the Father 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, though 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, and went away again beyond Jordan,
40 to the place where John was at first baptizing, and there He abode. 41 And many resorted to Him, and said, John wrought no miracle, but all that he said concerning this man, was true. 42 And many there believed on Him.
