Therefore, the Jews took up stones, in order to stone him. |
10:32 |
Jesus answered them: “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?” |
10:33 |
The Jews answered him: “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy and because, though you are a man, you make yourself God.” |
10:34 |
Jesus responded to them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said: you are gods?’ |
10:35 |
If he called those to whom the word of God was given gods, and Scripture cannot be broken, |
10:36 |
why do you say, about him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You have blasphemed,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’ |
10:37 |
If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe in me. |
10:38 |
But if I do them, even if you are not willing to believe in me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.” |

10:42 |
But all things whatsoever that John said about this man were true.” And many believed in him. |
