John:10:22-42
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication ,
and it was winter .
*
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon '
s porch .
*
Then came the Jews round about him ,
and said unto him ,
How long dost thou make us to doubt ?
If thou be the Christ ,
tell us plainly .
*
Jesus answered them ,
I told you ,
and ye believed not :
the works that I do in my Father '
s name ,
they bear witness of me .
*
But ye believe not ,
because ye are not of my sheep ,
as I said unto you .
*
My sheep hear my voice ,
and I know them ,
and they follow me :
*
And I give unto them eternal life ;
and they shall never perish ,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand .
*
My Father ,
which gave them me ,
is greater than all ;
and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father '
s hand .
*
I and my Father are one .
*
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him .
*
Jesus answered them ,
Many good works have I shewed you from my Father ;
for which of those works do ye stone me ?
*
The Jews answered him ,
saying ,
For a good work we stone thee not ;
but for blasphemy ;
and because that thou ,
being a man ,
makest thyself God .
*
Jesus answered them ,
Is it not written in your law ,
I said ,
Ye are gods ?
*
If he called them gods ,
unto whom the word of God came ,
and the scripture cannot be broken ;
*
Say ye of him ,
whom the Father hath sanctified ,
and sent into the world ,
Thou blasphemest ;
because I said ,
I am the Son of God ?
*
If I do not the works of my Father ,
believe me not .
*
But if I do ,
though ye believe not me ,
believe the works :
that ye may know ,
and believe ,
that the Father is in me ,
and I in him .
*
Therefore they sought again to take him :
but he escaped out of their hand ,
*
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized ;
and there he abode .
*
And many resorted unto him ,
and said ,
John did no miracle :
but all things that John spake of this man were true .
*
And many believed on him there .
