John 10:22-39

I and the Father Are One

22 At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; 23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of ^aSolomon. 24 ^aThe Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long ¹will You keep us in suspense? If You are the ²Christ, tell us ^bopenly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “^aI told you, and you do not believe; ^bthe works that I do in My Father’s name, these bear witness of Me. 26 But you do not believe because ^ayou are not of My sheep. 27 My sheep ^ahear My voice, and ^bI know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give ^aeternal life to them, and they will never perish—ever; and ^bno one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 ¹My 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. 30 ^aI and the Father are ¹one.”
31 The Jews ^apicked up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” 33 The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for ^ablasphemy; and because You, being a man, ^bmake Yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in ^ayour ^bLaw, ‘^cI said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him, whom the Father ^asanctified and ^bsent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘^cI am the Son of God’? 37 ^aIf I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe ^athe works, so that you may know and continue knowing that ^bthe Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” 39 Therefore ^athey were seeking again to seize Him, and ^bHe eluded their grasp.
