John 10:22-42

Darby Translation

²² Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.

²³ And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.

²⁴ The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.

²⁵ Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:

²⁶ but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;

²⁸ and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand.

²⁹ My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.

³¹ The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.

³² Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?

³³ The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because 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 to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),

³⁶ do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?

³⁷ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;

³⁸ but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I in him.

³⁹ They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand

⁴⁰ and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.

⁴¹ And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this [man] were true.

⁴² And many believed on him there.
