30 (A)I and the Father are [a]one.”

31 The Jews (B)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 (C)blasphemy; and because You, being a man, (D)make Yourself out to be God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in (E)your (F)Law: ‘(G)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 (H)sanctified and (I)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘(J)I am the Son of God’? 37 (K)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 (L)the works, so that you may [b]know and understand that (M)the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” 39 Therefore (N)they were seeking again to arrest Him, and (O)He eluded their grasp.

40 And He went away (P)again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He stayed there. 41 Many came to Him and were saying, “While John performed no (Q)sign, yet (R)everything John said about this man was true.” 42 And (S)many believed in Him there.

30 I and the Father are one.”(A)

31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,(B) 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.”(C)

40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan(P) to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him.
