John 10:22–42

²²Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter. ²³And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon. ²⁴The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say so to us openly. ²⁵Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness concerning me: ²⁶but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you. ²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; ²⁸and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand. ²⁹My Father who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father. ³⁰I and the Father are one. ³¹The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him. ³²Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me? ³³The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God. ³⁴Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? ³⁵If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken), ³⁶do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God? ³⁷If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; ³⁸but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.

³⁹They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand ⁴⁰and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there. ⁴¹And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this man were true. ⁴²And many believed on him there.
