And the feast of the dedication was celebrated in Jerusalem, and it was winter: and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. read more.
Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him. Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God. Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was committed, (and the scripture can not be made void,) do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You speak impiously, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him. Then they sought again to take him, but he escaped from their hands.
