22At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
23and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.
24So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.
26But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.
27My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.
29My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
30I and the Father are one.”
31At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.
32But Jesus responded, “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,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God.”
34Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?
35If he called them gods to whom the word of God came — and the Scripture cannot be broken —
36then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?
37If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.
38But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”
39At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
40Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.
41Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”
42And many in that place believed in Jesus.
