John 10:31-39

Common English Bible

³¹ Again the Jewish opposition picked up stones in order to stone him. ³² Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

³³ The Jewish opposition answered, “We don’t stone you for a good work but for insulting God. You are human, yet you make yourself out to be God.”

³⁴ Jesus replied, “Isn’t it written in your Law, I have said, you are gods?^{[a] 35} Scripture calls those to whom God’s word came gods, and scripture can’t be abolished. ³⁶ So how can you say that the one whom the Father has made holy and sent into the world insults God because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’? ³⁷ If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me. ³⁸ But if I do them, and you don’t believe me, believe the works so that you can know and recognize that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” ³⁹ Again, they wanted to arrest him, but he escaped from them.
