John 10:25-40

²⁵Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.

²⁶But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.

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

²⁸And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand.

²⁹That which my Father hath given me, is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father.

³⁰I and the Father are one.

³¹The Jews then took up stones to stone him.

³²Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?

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

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

³⁵If he called them gods, to whom to word of God was spoken, and the scripture cannot be broken;

³⁶Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

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

³⁸But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

³⁹They sought therefore to take him; and he escaped out of their hands.

⁴⁰And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first; and there he abode.
