John 10:22-40

22At that timeG5119 theG3588 Feast of DedicationG14561 took placeG1096 inG1722 JerusalemG2414. It wasG1510 winterG5494, 23andG2532 JesusG2424 was walkingG4043 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts2 inG1722 Solomon’sG3588G4672 ColonnadeG4745. 24SoG3767 theG3588 JewsG2453 gathered aroundG2944 HimG846 andG2532 demandedG2036, “How longG2193G4219 will You keep us in suspenseG142G1473G3588G5590? IfG1487 YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547, tellG2036 usG1473 plainlyG3954.”

25“I already toldG2036 youG4771,” JesusG2424 repliedG611, “butG2532 you did not believeG3756G4100. TheG3588 worksG2041 IG1473 doG4160 inG1722 MyG1473 Father’sG3962 nameG3686 testifyG3140 on My behalfG4012G1473. 26ButG235 becauseG3754 you areG1510 notG3756 MyG1699 sheepG4263, youG4771 refuseG3756 to believeG4100. 27MyG1699 sheepG4263 listen toG191 MyG1473 voiceG5456; IG2504 knowG1097 themG846, andG2532 they followG190 MeG1473. 28IG2504 giveG1325 themG846 eternalG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 they will never perishG3756G3361G622G1519G3588G165. NoG3756 oneG5100 can snatchG726 themG846 out ofG1537 MyG1473 handG5495. 29MyG1473 FatherG3962 whoG3739 has givenG1325 them to MeG1473 isG1510 greaterG3173 than allG3956. No oneG3762 canG1410 snatchG726 them out ofG1537 My Father’sG3962 handG5495. 30IG1473 andG2532 theG3588 FatherG3962 areG1510 oneG1520.”

31At thisG3767, theG3588 JewsG2453 againG3825 picked upG941 stonesG3037 toG2443 stoneG3034 HimG846. 32But JesusG2424 respondedG611, “I have shownG1166 youG4771 manyG4183 goodG2570 worksG2041 fromG1537 theG3588 FatherG3962. ForG1223 whichG4169 of theseG2041G846 do you stoneG3034 MeG1473?”

33“We are not stoningG3756G3034 YouG4771 forG4012 any goodG2570 workG2041,” saidG611 theG3588 JewsG2453, “butG235 forG4012 blasphemyG988, becauseG3754 YouG4771, who areG1510 a manG444, make Yourself out to beG4160G4572 GodG2316.”

JesusG2424 repliedG611, “Is itG1510 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 yourG4771 LawG3551: ‘IG1473 have saidG2036 you areG1510 godsG2316’3? 35IfG1487 he calledG2036 themG1565 godsG2316 toG4314 whomG3739 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 cameG1096—andG2532 theG3588 ScriptureG1124 cannotG3756G1410 be brokenG3089— 36then what about the One whomG3739 theG3588 FatherG3962 sanctifiedG37 andG2532 sentG649 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889? How thenG3754 can youG4771 accuseG3004 Me of blasphemyG987 forG3754 stating thatG2036 I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316?

37IfG1487 I am not doingG3756G4160 theG3588 worksG2041 ofG3588 MyG1473 FatherG3962, then do notG3361 believeG4100 MeG1473. 38ButG1161 ifG1487 I am doingG4160 them, even thoughG2579 you do not believeG3361G4100 MeG1473, believeG4100 theG3588 worksG2041 themselves, so thatG2443 you may knowG1097 andG2532 understandG1097 thatG3754 theG3588 FatherG3962 is inG1722 MeG1473, and IG2504 am inG1722 theG3588 FatherG3962.”

39At thisG3767, they triedG2212 againG3825 to seizeG4084 HimG846, butG2532 He escapedG1831G1537 theirG846 graspG5495.

40ThenG2532 Jesus wentG565 backG3825 acrossG4008 theG3588 JordanG2446 toG1519 theG3588 placeG5117 whereG3699 JohnG2491 hadG1510 firstG4413 been baptizingG907, andG2532 He stayedG3306 thereG1563.
