John 10:19-42 ▼

19 There was a discention therefore agayne among the Iewes, for these sayinges.

20 And many of them sayde: He hath the deuyll, & is mad, why heare ye him?

21 Other sayd: These are not ye wordes of hym that hath the deuyll. Can the deuyll open the eyes of the blynde?

22 And it was at Hierusalem, the feast of the dedication, and it was wynter.

23 And Iesus walked in the temple, euen in Solomons porche.

24 Then came the Iewes rounde about hym, and sayde vnto hym: Howe long doest thou make vs doubt? Yf thou be Christe, tell vs playnely.

25 Iesus aunswered them: I tolde you, and ye beleue not. The workes that I do in my fathers name, they beare witnesse of me.

26 But ye beleue not, because ye are not of my sheepe, as I sayde vnto you.

27 My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they folowe me:

28 And I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shal neuer perishe, neither shal any man plucke them out of my hande.

29 My father which gaue them me, is greater then all: and no man is able to take them out of my fathers hande.

30 I and my father are one.

31 Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones, to stone hym withall.

32 Iesus aunswered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my father: for which of the do ye stone me?

33 The Iewes aunswered hym, saying: For thy good workes sake we stone thee not, but for thy blasphemie, and because that thou beyng a man, makest thy selfe God.

34 Iesus aunswered them: Is it not written in your lawe, I sayde, ye are Gods?

35 If he called them Gods, vnto whom the worde of God was spoken, and the scripture can not be broken:

36 Say ye of hym whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the worlde, thou blasphemest, because I saide I am the sonne of God?

37 Yf I do not the workes of my father, beleue me not:

38 But yf I do, and yf ye beleue not me, beleue the workes: that ye may knowe and beleue, that the father is in me, and I in hym.

39 Agayne they went about to take hym: and he escaped out of their hande,

40 And went away againe beyonde Iordane, into the place where Iohn before had baptized, and there he abode.

41 And many resorted vnto hym, and sayde: Iohn dyd no miracle, but all thynges that Iohn spake of this man were true.

42 And many beleued on hym there.
