John 10:22-42

22Then came Hanukkah; it was winter in Jerusalem.

23Yeshua was walking in the Temple around Solomon’s Colonnade.

24Then the Judean leaders surrounded Him, saying, “How long will You hold us in suspense? If You are the Messiah, tell us outright!”

25Yeshua answered them, “I told you, but you don’t believe! The works I do in My Father’s name testify concerning Me.

26But you don’t believe, because you are not My sheep.

27My sheep hear My voice. I know them, and they follow Me.

28I give them eternal life! They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

29My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. And no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

30I and the Father are one.”

31Again the Judean leaders picked up stones to stone Him.

32Yeshua answered them, “I’ve shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these are you going to stone Me?”

33The Judean leaders answered, “We aren’t stoning you for a good work, but for blasphemy. Though You are a man, You make Yourself God!”

34Yeshua answered them, “Isn’t it written in your Writings, ‘I have said you are gods’?

35If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the Word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

36do you say of Him, the One the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You speak blasphemy,’ because I said, ‘I am Ben-Elohim’?

37“If I don’t do the works of My Father, don’t believe Me!

38But if I do, even if you don’t trust Me, trust the deeds. Then you may come to know and continue to understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”

39Therefore they tried to capture Him again, but He escaped from their hand.

40Again He went back across the Jordan to the place where John first started immersing, and He stayed there.

41Many people came to Him and were saying, “John performed no sign, but all John said about this man was true.”

42And many trusted in Him there.
