John 10:31

29 ^aMy Father, ^bwho has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

30 ^aI and My Father are one.”

Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus

31 Then ^athe Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”

33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for ^ablasphemy, and because You, being a Man, ^bmake Yourself God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ^a‘I said, “You are gods” ’?

Barnes' Notes

<< John 10:30

John 10:32 >>

The Jews took up stones - Stoning was the punishment of a blasphemer, Leviticus 24:14-16. They considered him guilty of blasphemy because he made himself equal with God, John 10:33.

Again - They had before plotted against his life John 5:16, John 5:18, and once at least they had taken up stones to destroy him, John 8:59.
