John 10:33-42

33 The Jews answered him, "We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, [although you] are a man, make yourself [to be] God!"
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods" '?
35 If he called them 'gods' to whom the word of God came--and the scripture cannot be broken--
36 do you say about [he] whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
37 If I do not do the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.
38 But if I am doing [them], even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father [is] in me and I [am] in the Father."
39 So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.
40 And he went away again on the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.
41 And many came to him and began to say, "John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true!"
42 And many believed in him there.
