22

Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter

23

And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's covered way.

24

Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

25

Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

26

But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.

27

My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

28

And I give them eternal life they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

29

That which my Father has given to me has more value than all and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.

30

I and my Father are one.

31

Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him.

32

Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father for which of those works are you stoning me?

33

This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words because being a man you make yourself God.

34

In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

35

If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

36

Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil because I said, I am God's Son?

37

If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me

38

But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

39

Then again they made an attempt to take him but he got away from them.

40

And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism and he was there for a time.

41

And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

42

And a number came to have faith in him there.
