John 10: 31–42
The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Jesus replied, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For
which of these are you going to stone me?" The Jews answered, "It is
not for a good work that we are going to stone you, but for blasphemy, because
you, though only a human being, are making yourself God." Jesus answered,
"Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'? If those to whom
the word of God came were called 'gods'—and the scripture cannot be
annulled—can you say that the one whom the Father has sanctified and sent into
the world is blaspheming because I said, 'I am God's Son'? If I am not doing
the works of my Father, then do not believe me. But if I do them, even though
you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand
that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." Then they tried to
arrest him again, but he escaped from their hands. He went away again across
the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing earlier, and he remained
there. Many came to him, and they were saying, "John performed no sign,
but everything that John said about this man was true." And many believed
in him there."
Reflection
What are the works of Jesus?
Can I pray that my heart may be made like
the heart of Jesus?
