John:10:22-42
isv@John:10:22 @ Now Hanukkah was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
isv@John:10:23 @ and Jesus was walking around in the temple inside the open porch of Solomon.
isv@John:10:24 @ So the Jews surrounded him and said to him, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly.”
isv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them,“I have told you, but you do not believe it. The works that I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf,
isv@John:10:26 @ but you do not believe because you do not belong to my sheep.
isv@John:10:27 @ My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
isv@John:10:28 @ I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
isv@John:10:29 @ What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it from the Father's hand.
isv@John:10:30 @ I and the Father are one.”
isv@John:10:31 @ Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him to death.
isv@John:10:32 @ Jesus replied to them,“I have shown you many good works from myFather. For which of them are you going to stone me?”
isv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone you for a good work but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God!”
isv@John:10:34 @ Jesus replied to them,“Is it not written in yourlaw, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?
isv@John:10:35 @ If he called those to whom the word of God came ‘gods’ (and the Scripture cannot be set aside),
isv@John:10:36 @ how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
isv@John:10:37 @ If I am not doing my Father's works, do not believe me.
isv@John:10:38 @ But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understandthat the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
isv@John:10:39 @ Again they tried to seize him, but he slipped away out of their hands.
isv@John:10:40 @ Then he went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and he remained there.
isv@John:10:41 @ Many people came to him and kept saying, “John never performed a sign, but all the things that John said about this man were true!”
isv@John:10:42 @ And many believed in him there.
