32
Yeshua answered them, "You have seen me do many good deeds that reflect the Father's power; for which one of these deeds are you stoning me?"
33
The Judeans replied, "We are not stoning you for any good deed, but for blasphemy -- because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God [Hebrew: Elohim]."
34
Yeshua answered them, "Isn't it written in your Torah, `I have said, "You people are Elohim' "?h

37
"If I am not doing deeds that reflect my Father's power, don't trust me.
