John 10:22-40

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 1God.

34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are 2gods?

35If he called them 3gods to whom the word of 4God 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 5God?

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.
