JOHN 10:22-39
Jesus Asserts His Deity
22 Then, in the winter time, came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. 23 Jesus was there, walking about on Solomon's Porch in the temple. 24 The Jews gathered about Him and said to Him, "How long will you keep our minds in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so openly."
25 Jesus answered them, "I have told you, yet you will not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name bear witness for Me. 26 But, as for you, you do not believe because you are not My sheep, as I have told you. 27 My sheep listen to My voice and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them everlasting life. They shall never, never die, nor shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father who gave them to Me is greater than all, and no one can snatch them out of My Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are One!"
Jesus' Defense Before the Mob
31 Then the Jews once more took up stones to throw at Him. 32 Jesus answered them, "Many a good deed have I shown you from My Father. For which are you going to stone Me?" 33 They said, "We are not going to stone you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a man, make yourself God." 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'? (Exodus 22:28; Psalm 82:6). 35 So God calls them gods to whom He spoke, and the Scripture cannot be set aside. 36 Do you then accuse of blasphemy Him whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, because He said,'I am the Son of God'? 37 If I am not doing the works of My Father. then do not believe Me. 38 But if I am doing them, then believe the works even if you don't believe Me. You will thus understand and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him." 39 They tried again to seize Him, but He escaped from their hands.
John 14:5-14
5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 [B]If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, all who have faith in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
