Jesus answered them, many good works
Such as healing the sick, and all manner of diseases;
dispossessing devils, cleansing lepers, giving sight to the
blind, causing the dumb to speak, the deaf to hear, and the lame
to walk; which were not only works of power, but of mercy and
beneficence; and therefore are called good works, as well as they
were great and miraculous ones:
have I showed you from my Father;
which Christ did in the name, and by the command and authority of
the Father; who gave him them to do, and did them by him; and
which were evident and notorious, and were done so openly and
publicly, that they could not be denied:
for which of these works do ye stone me?
suggesting, that his public life had been a continued series of
such kind actions to the sons of men, and it could be for nothing
else surely, that they took up stones to stone him; wherefore the
part they acted, was a most ungrateful, cruel, and barbarous one.
