Gospel John 10:31-42

• 31Therefore, the Jews took up stones, in order to stone him.

• 32Jesus answered them: “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

• 33The Jews answered him: “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy and because, though you are a man, you make yourself God.”

• 34Jesus responded to them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said: you are gods?’

• 35If he called those to whom the word of God was given gods, and Scripture cannot be broken,

• 36why do you say, about him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You have blasphemed,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’

• 37If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe in me.

• 38But if I do them, even if you are not willing to believe in me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”

• 39Therefore, they sought to apprehend him, but he escaped from their hands.

• 40And he went again across the Jordan, to that place where John first was baptizing. And he lodged there.

• 41And many went out to him. And they were saying: “Indeed, John accomplished no signs.

• 42But all things whatsoever that John said about this man were true.” And many believed in him.
