John 10:21-38
New American Standard Bible
22At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem;
23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple area, in the portico of Solomon.
24The Jews then surrounded Him and began saying to Him, 'How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.'
25Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me.
26But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep.
27My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;
28and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
30I and the Father are one.'
31The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.
32Jesus replied to them, 'I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?'
33The Jews answered Him, 'We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.'
34Jesus answered them, 'Has it not been written in your Law: ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GodS’?
35If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be nullified),
36are you saying of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
38but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.'
King James Version
22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30I and my Father are one.
31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

22Then the Festival of Dedication took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's Colonnade.
24The Jews surrounded him and asked, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
25"I did tell you and you don't believe," Jesus answered them. "The works that I do in my Father's name testify about me.
26But you don't believe because you are not of my sheep.
27My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me.
28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand.
29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
30I and the Father are one."
34Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, I said, you are gods?
35If he called those to whom the word of God came 'gods'--and the Scripture cannot be broken--
36do you say, 'You are blaspheming' to the one the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God?
37If I am not doing my Father's works, don't believe me.
38But if I am doing them and you don't believe me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father."
New Living Translation
22It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah, the Festival of Dedication.
23He was in the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon’s Colonnade.
24The people surrounded him and asked, 'How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.'
25Jesus replied, 'I have already told you, and you don’t believe me. The proof is the work I do in my Father’s name.
26But you don’t believe me because you are not my sheep.
27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me,
29for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.
30The Father and I are one.'
31Once again the people picked up stones to kill him.
32Jesus said, 'At my Father’s direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?'
34Jesus replied, 'It is written in your own Scriptures that God said to certain leaders of the people, ‘I say, you are gods!’
35And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered. So if those people who received God’s message were called ‘gods,’
36why do you call it blasphemy when I say, ‘I am the Son of God’? After all, the Father set me apart and sent me into the world.
37Don’t believe me unless I carry out my Father’s work.
38But if I do his work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don’t believe me. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.'
English Standard Version
22At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter,
23and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon.
24So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me,
26but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep.
27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
30I and the Father are one.”
31The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.
32Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?”
33The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken—
36do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;
38but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
New International Version
22Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,
23and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon's Colonnade.
24The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, 'How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.'
25Jesus answered, 'I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify about me,
26but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
30I and the Father are one.'
31Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,
32but Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?'
34Jesus answered them, 'Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are 'gods''?
35If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came--and Scripture cannot be set aside--
36what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
37Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.
38But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.'
New King James Version
22Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.
26But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
27My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
30I and My Father are one.”
31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
32Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
34Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’?
35If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
36do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
38but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
