John 10:22-42

Lexham English Bible LEB

22 Then the feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,

23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon.

24 So the Jews surrounded him and began to say to him, "{How long will you keep us in suspense}? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!"

25 Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe! The deeds that I do in the name of my Father, these testify about me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep!

27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish {forever}, and no one will seize them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who has given [them] to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize [them] from the Father's hand.

30 The Father and I are one."

31 Then the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?"

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.

New International Version NIV

22 Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,

23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.

24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,

26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and the Father are one.”

31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,

32 but Jesus said to them, “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,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’?

35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—

36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?

37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.

38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.

40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed,

41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.”

42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.
