22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. |
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. |
24 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. |
25 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. |
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. |
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: |
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. |
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. |
30 I and my Father are one. |
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. |
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? |
33 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. |
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? |
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; |
36 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? |
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. |
38 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. |
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, |
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. |
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. |
42 And many believed on him there. |
