John 10:31–42

Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus

³¹Again the Jews picked up rocks to stone Him. ^b

³²Jesus replied, “I have shown you many good works ^cfrom the Father. Which of these works are you stoning Me for?”

³³“We aren’t stoning ^dYou for a good work,” the Jews answered, “but for blasphemy, because You—being a man—make Yourself God.”

³⁴Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your scripture, ^eI said, you are gods? ^fg35If He called those whom the word ^hof God came to ‘gods’—and the Scripture ⁱcannot be broken— ³⁶do you say, ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God? ^j37If I am not doing My Father’s works, ^kdon’t believe Me. ³⁸But if I am doing them and you don’t believe Me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand ^lthat the Father is in Me and I in the Father.” ^m39Then they were trying again to seize Him, ⁿyet He eluded their grasp. ^o

Many beyond the Jordan Believe in Jesus

⁴⁰So He departed again across the Jordan ^pto the place where John ^qhad been baptizing earlier, and He remained there. ⁴¹Many came to Him ^rand said, “John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true.” ⁴²And many believed in Him there.
