John 10:32–11:3

32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”b

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,c ‘I have said you are “gods” ’d?d 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of Gode came—and Scripture cannot be set asidef—36 what about the one whom the Father set apartg as his very ownh and sent into the world?i Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?j 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.k 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”l 39 Again they tried to seize him,m but he escaped their grasp.n

40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordano to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign,p all that John said about this man was true.”q 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.r
