(22)And there came the feast of the dedication, in Jerusalem; and it
was winter. (23)And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of
Solomon. (24)The Jews therefore came around him, and said to him: How
long dost thou hold us in doubt[10:24]? If thou art the Christ, tell
us plainly.

(25)Jesus answered them: I told you, and ye do not believe. The works
that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. (26)But ye do
not believe; for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. (27)My
sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; (28)and I
give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any
one pluck them out of my hand. (29)My Father, who has given them to
me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my
Father's hand. (30)I and the Father are one.

(31)The Jews therefore took up stones again to stone him. (32)Jesus
answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for
which of those works do ye stone me? (33)The Jews answered him: For a
good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou,
being man, makest thyself God. (34)Jesus answered them: Is it not
written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (35)If he called them gods
to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture can not be broken,
(36)say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the
world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? (37)If I
do not the works of my Father, believe me not. (38)But if I do, though
ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know, that
the Father is in me, and I in the Father. (39)Therefore they sought
again to seize him; and he went forth, out of their hand.

(40)And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John
was at first immersing; and there he abode. (41)And many came to him,
and said: John indeed wrought no sign; but all things that John spoke
of this man were true. (42)And many believed on him there.

NOW a certain one was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, from the village of
Mary and Martha her sister. (2)It was the Mary who anointed the Lord
with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus
was sick. (3)The sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold,
he whom thou lovest is sick. (4)And Jesus hearing it, said: This
sickness is not for death, but for the sake of the glory of God, that
the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
