John 10: 31 - 42

The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
|
| 32
|
Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?"
|
| 33
|
The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God."
|
| 34
|
Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, `I said, you are gods'?
|
| 35
|
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),
|
| 36
|
do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'?
|
| 37
|
If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;
|
| 38
|
but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

|
Again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
|
| 40
|
He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there he remained.
|
| 41
|
And many came to him; and they said, "John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true."
|
| 42
|
And many believed in him there.
