John 10:31

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” ’?

35 If He called them gods, ^ato whom the word of God came (and the Scripture ^bcannot be broken),

36 do you say of Him ^awhom the Father sanctified and ^bsent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ ^cbecause I said, ‘I am ^dthe Son of God’?

37 ^aIf I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;

38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, ^abelieve the works, that you may know and¹ believe ^bthat the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”

39 ^aTherefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.

The Believers Beyond Jordan

40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place ^awhere John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.

41 Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, ^abut all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.”

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.
