John 10:25-40

²⁵Jesus 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:

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

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

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

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

³⁰I and the Father are one.

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

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

³³The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

³⁴Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

³⁵If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),

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

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

³⁸but 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.

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

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