John 10:27-38
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
27 My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand.[a] 30 The Father and I are one.”
31 The Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus replied, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you, but for blasphemy, because you, though only a human being, are making yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law,[b] ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If those to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’—and the scripture cannot be annulled— 36 can you say that the one whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand[c] that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”

John 10:27-38
New International Version
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them,(A) and they follow me.(B) 28 I give them eternal life,(C) and they shall never perish;(D) no one will snatch them out of my hand.(E) 29 My Father, who has given them to me,(F) is greater than all[a];(G) no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”(H)
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,(I) 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”(J)
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(K) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[b]?(L) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(M) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(N)— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(O) as his very own(P) and sent into the world?(Q) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(R) 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.(S) 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.”(T)
