6
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
7
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w tell|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*, \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w the|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w sheep|strong="G4263"\+w*’s \+w door|strong="G2374"\+w*.

19
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21
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?”
22
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24
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.”
25
Jesus answered them, “\+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w told|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* don’\+w t|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w believe|strong="G4100"\+w*. \+w The|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w works|strong="G2041"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w do|strong="G4160"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w Father|strong="G3962"\+w*’s \+w name|strong="G3686"\+w*, \+w these|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w testify|strong="G3140"\+w* \+w about|strong="G4012"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*.

31
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32
Jesus answered them, “\+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w have|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w shown|strong="G1166"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w many|strong="G4183"\+w* \+w good|strong="G2570"\+w* \+w works|strong="G2041"\+w* \+w from|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w Father|strong="G3962"\+w*. \+w For|strong="G1223"\+w* \+w which|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w those|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w works|strong="G2041"\+w* \+w do|strong="G2041"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w stone|strong="G3034"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*?”
33
The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34
Jesus answered them, “Isn’\+w t|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w it|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w written|strong="G1125"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w your|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w law|strong="G3551"\+w*, ‘\+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w said|strong="G3004"\+w*, \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w are|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w gods|strong="G2316"\+w*’?
