| 22 | And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. |
| 23 | And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. |
| 24 | Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. |
| 25 | Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. |
| 26 | But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. |
| 27 | My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: |
| 28 | And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. |
| 29 | My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. |
| 30 | I and my Father are one. |
| 31 | Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. |
| 32 | Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? |
| 33 | The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. |
| 34 | Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods |
| 35 | If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken; |
| 36 | Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? |
| 37 | If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. |
| 38 | But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. |
| 39 | Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, |
| 40 | And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. |
| 41 | And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. |
| 42 | And many believed on him there. |
