Confrontation at the Feast of Dedication

John 10:22-39

Confrontation at the Feast of Dedication

And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was winter.

And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

The Jews therefore came round about him and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.

But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.

My Sheep Hear My Voice

My sheep hear my voice. And I know them: and they follow me.

And I give them life everlasting: and they shall not perish for ever. And no man shall pluck them out of my hand.

That which my Father hath given me is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father.

I and the Father are one.

The Jews then took up stones to stone him.

Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?

The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy: and because that thou. being a, man, makest thyself God.

Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said, you are gods?

If he called them gods to whom the word of God was spoken; and the scripture cannot be broken:

Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest; because I said: I am the Son of God?

If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

They sought therefore to take him: and he escaped out of their hands.
