John 10:25-40

²⁵Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning me.

²⁶But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.

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

²⁸And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.

²⁹My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

³⁰I and my Father are one.

³¹Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

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

³³The 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.

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;

³⁶Say ye 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 ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.

³⁹Therefore they sought again to take him; but he escaped from their hand,

⁴⁰And went again beyond Jordan, into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
