Context of John 10:25
23Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24The Jews surrounded him and asked, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” “I did tell you and you don’t believe,” Jesus answered them. “The works that I do in my Father’s name testify about me. 26But you don’t believe because you are not of my sheep. 27My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me.

Commentaries on John 10:25
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25I told you, etc. - That is, I told you before what I tell you now again, that the works which I do, bear testimony to me.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25I told you - It is not recorded that Jesus had told them in so many words that he was the Christ, but he had used expressions designed to convey the same truth, and which many of them understood as claiming to be the Messiah.

Thus he was…Read the comment
