Woven from John 10:22–42
Then the feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s Portico. So the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long will You keep our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us openly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name bear witness concerning Me. But you do not believe, because you are not from My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they will certainly never perish, and no one will snatch them from My hand. My Father, in regard to what He has given Me, is greater than all, and no one can snatch from the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father. For which work among them do you stone Me?” The Jews answered Him, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a man, make Yourself 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 came—and the Scripture cannot be broken— do you say to the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not do My Father’s works, do not believe Me. But if I do them, even if you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and continue to know that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.” So they sought again to seize Him, and He went out from their hand. And He went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was first baptizing, and remained there. Many came to Him and said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything John said concerning this man was true.” And many believed in Him there.
