John 10:32

32 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Πολλὰ ἔργα καλὰ ἔδειξα ὑμῖν ⸃ ἐκ τοῦ πατρός · διὰ ποῖον αὐτῶν ἔργον ἐμὲ λιθάζετε;

John 10:32 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:32

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.

John 10:32 In-Context

30 ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ἕν ἐσμεν.
31 Ἐβάστασαν οὖν πάλιν λίθους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα λιθάσωσιν αὐτόν.
32 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Πολλὰ ἔργα καλὰ ἔδειξα ὑμῖν ⸃ ἐκ τοῦ πατρός · διὰ ποῖον αὐτῶν ἔργον ἐμὲ λιθάζετε;
33 ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι · Περὶ καλοῦ ἔργου οὐ λιθάζομέν σε ἀλλὰ περὶ βλασφημίας, καὶ ὅτι σὺ ἄνθρωπος ὢν ποιεῖς σεαυτὸν θεόν.
34 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Οὐκ ἔστιν γεγραμμένον ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὑμῶν ὅτι Ἐγὼ εἶπα · Θεοί ἐστε;
