Jesus Is Rejected by the Jews

22 At that time the Festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.(A) 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah,[a] tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered, “I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name testify to me,(B) 26 but you do not believe because you do not belong to my sheep.(C) 27 My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.(D) 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand.(E) 29 My Father, in regard to what he has given me, is greater than all,[b] and no one can snatch them out of the Father’s hand.(F) 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, are making yourself God.”(G) 34 Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law,[c] ‘I said, you are gods’?(H) 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’?(I) 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me.(J) 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand[d] that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”(K) 39 Then they tried to arrest him again, but he escaped from their hands.(L)
