John 10:31-39 - Renewed Efforts To Stone Jesus

31 The Jews again brought stones to throw at him;

32 And seeing this, Jesus said: "I have done before your eyes many good actions, inspired by the Father; for which of them would you stone me?"

33 "It is not for any good action that we would stone you," answered the Jews, "but for blasphemy; and because you, who are only a man, make yourself out to be God."

34 "Are there not," replied Jesus, "these words in your Law--'I said "Ye are gods"'? 35 If those to whom God's word were addressed were said to be 'gods'--and Scripture cannot be set aside-- 36 Do you say of one whom the Father has consecrated and sent as his Messenger to the world 'You are blaspheming,' because I said 'I am God's Son'? 37 If I am not doing the work that my Father is doing, do not believe me; 38 If I am doing it, even though you do not believe me, believe what that work shows; so that you may understand, and understand more and more clearly, that the Father is in union with me, and I with the Father." 39 Upon this the Jews again sought to arrest him; but he escaped their hands.
