31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father ; for which of them are you stoning Me?" 33 The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy ; and because You, being a man , make Yourself out to be God ." 34 Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your Law , ' I SAID , YOU ARE GODS '? 35 "If he called them gods , to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot e be broken ), 36 do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world , 'You are blaspheming ,' because I said , ' I am the Son of God '? 37 " If I do not do the works of My Father , do not believe Me; 38 but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works , so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father ."
39 Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He eluded their grasp . 40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing , and He was staying there . 41 Many came to Him and were saying , "While John performed no sign , yet everything John said about this man was true ." 42 Many believed in Him there .

Commentary on John 10:31-38
(Read John 10:31-38)
Christ's works of power and mercy proclaim him to be over all, God blessed for evermore, that all may know and believe He is in the Father, and the Father in Him. Whom the Father sends, he sanctifies. The holy God will reward, and therefore will employ, none but such as he makes holy. The Father was in the Son, so that by Divine power he wrought his miracles; the Son was so in the Father, that he knew the whole of His mind. This we cannot by searching find out to perfection, but we may know and believe these declarations of Christ.
Commentary on John 10:39-42
(Read John 10:39-42)
No weapon formed against our Lord Jesus shall prosper. He escaped, not because he was afraid to suffer, but because his hour was not come. And He who knew how to deliver himself, knows how to deliver the godly our of their temptations, and to make a way for them to escape. Persecutors may drive Christ and his gospel our of their own city or country, but they cannot drive him or it out of the world. When we know Christ by faith in our hearts, we find all that the Scripture saith of him is true.
