I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> There was a division again among the Jews because of these words. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him? <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see? <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter; <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon&#8217;s covered way. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father&#8217;s name, these give witness about me. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me: <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father&#8217;s hand. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> I and my Father are one. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me? <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods? <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken), <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God&#8217;s Son? <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me; <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father. <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them. <\/br><strong>40<\/strong> And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time. <\/br><strong>41<\/strong> And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true. <\/br><strong>42<\/strong> And a number came to have faith in him there. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client =
