Jesus at the Festival of Dedication
22
The time came for the Festival of Dedication in Jerusalem. It was winter,
23
and Jesus was in the temple, walking in the covered porch named for Solomon.
24
The Jewish opposition circled around him and asked, "How long will you test our patience? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
25
Jesus answered, "
I have told you, but you don't believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify about me,
26
but you don't believe because you don't belong to my sheep.
27
My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me.
28
I give them eternal life. They will never die, and no one will snatch them from my hand.
29
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them from my Father's hand.
30
I and the Father are one.
"
31
Again the Jewish opposition picked up stones in order to stone him.
32
Jesus responded, "
I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works do you stone me?
"
33
The Jewish opposition answered, "We don't stone you for a good work but for insulting God. You are human, yet you make yourself out to be God."
34
Jesus replied, “
Isn't it written in your Law,
I have said, you are gods?
35
Scripture calls those to whom God's word came
gods
,
and scripture can't be abolished.
36
So how can you say that the one whom the Father has made holy and sent into the world insults God because he said, ‘I am God's Son'?
37
If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.
38
But if I do them, and you don't believe me, believe the works so that you can know and recognize that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
39
Again, they wanted to arrest him, but he escaped from them.
