I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.
I received this commandment from my Father."
010:019 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because
of these words.
010:020 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane!
Why do you listen to him?"
010:021 Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon.
It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind,
is it?"{Exodus 4:11}
010:022 It was the Feast of the Dedication{The "Feast of the Dedication"
is the Greek name for "Chanukkah," a celebration of the
rededication of the Temple.} at Jerusalem.
010:023 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple,
in Solomon's porch.
010:024 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long
will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ,
tell us plainly."
010:025 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe.
The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
010:026 But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep,
as I told you.
010:027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
010:028 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish,
and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
010:029 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all.
No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.
010:030 I and the Father are one."
010:031 Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.
010:032 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from
my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
010:033 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work,
but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
010:034 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said,

010:035 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came
(and the Scripture can't be broken),
010:036 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world,
'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'
010:037 If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.
010:038 But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works;
that you may know and believe that the Father is in me,
and I in the Father."
010:039 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
010:040 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John
was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.
010:041 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign,
but everything that John said about this man is true."
010:042 Many believed in him there.
