31 The Jews (A)picked up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus replied to them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” 33 The Jews answered Him, “We are not stoning You for a good work, but for (B)blasphemy; and because You, being a man, (C)make Yourself out to be God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in (D)your (E)Law: ‘(F)I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be nullified), 36 are you saying of Him whom the Father (G)sanctified and (H)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘(I)I am the Son of God’? 37 (J)If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe (K)the works, so that you may [a]know and understand that (L)the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” 39 Therefore (M)they were seeking again to arrest Him, and (N)He eluded their grasp.

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”(B)

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(C) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[a]?(D) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(E) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(F) 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(G) as his very own(H) and sent into the world?(I) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(J) 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.(K) 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”(L) 39 Again they tried to seize him,(M) but he escaped their grasp.(N)
