John 10:19-42
English Standard Version
19 (A)There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. 20 Many of them said, (B)“He has a demon, and (C)is insane; why listen to him?” 21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. (D)Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
I and the Father Are One
22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, (E)in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are (F)the Christ, (G)tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. (H)The works that I do (I)in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but (J)you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 (K)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 (L)I give them eternal life, and (M)they will never perish, and (N)no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, (O)who has given them to me,[a] (P)is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of (Q)the Father's hand. 30 (R)I and the Father are one.”
31 (S)The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but (T)for blasphemy, because you, being a man, (U)make yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in (V)your Law, (W)‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be (X)broken— 36 do you say of him whom (Y)the Father consecrated and (Z)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because (AA)I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 (AB)If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, (AC)even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that (AD)the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 (AE)Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place (AF)where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. 41 And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but (AG)everything that John said about this man was true.” 42 And (AH)many believed in him there.

19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided.(A) 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed(B) and raving mad.(C) Why listen to him?”
21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon.(D) Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”(E)
Further Conflict Over Jesus’ Claims
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication[a] at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.(F) 24 The Jews(G) who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”(H)
25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you,(I) but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,(J) 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.(K) 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them,(L) and they follow me.(M) 28 I give them eternal life,(N) and they shall never perish;(O) no one will snatch them out of my hand.(P) 29 My Father, who has given them to me,(Q) is greater than all[b];(R) no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”(S)
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,(T) 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.”(U)
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(V) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[c]?(W) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(X) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(Y)— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(Z) as his very own(AA) and sent into the world?(AB) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(AC) 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.(AD) 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.”(AE) 39 Again they tried to seize him,(AF) but he escaped their grasp.(AG)
40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan(AH) to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign,(AI) all that John said about this man was true.”(AJ) 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.(AK)

19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
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 shewed 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.
