|
| 22 | It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem; | Jesus Rejected by the Jews Jn.10.22-42 (Jerusalem) |
| 23 | it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. | |
| 24 | So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." | |
| 25 | Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me; | |
| 26 | but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. | |
| 27 | My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; | |
| 28 | and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. | |
| 29 | My 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 | I and the Father are one." | |
| 31 | 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'? | - I said, you are gods? Jn.10.34 | Ps.82.6 |
| 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." | |
| 39 | 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. | |
