31. Again the Jews took up stones to stone Him.
32. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
33. The Jews answered Him, “We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, claim to be God.”
34. Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?
35. If He called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken,
36. do you say of Him, whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37. If I am not doing the works of My Father, do not believe Me.
38. But if I do them, 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.”
39. Again they tried to seize Him, but He escaped from their hands.
40. Then He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and He remained there.
41. Many came to Him and said, “John did no sign. But everything that John said about this Man was true.”
42. And many believed in Him there.
