Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.
Joann 10:22-38
In illo témpore: Facta sunt encǽnia in Jerosólymis: et hiems erat. Et ambulábat Jesus in templo, in pórticu Salomónis. Circumdedérunt ergo eum Judǽi, et dicébant ei: Quoúsque ánimam nostram tollis? Si tu es Christus, dic nobis palam. Respóndit eis Jesus: Loquor vobis, et non créditis: Opera, quæ ego fácio in nómine Patris mei, hæc testimónium pérhibent de me: sed vos non créditis, quia non estis ex óvibus meis. Oves meæ vocem meam áudiunt: et ego cognósco eas, et sequúntur me: et ego vitam ætérnam do eis: et non períbunt in ætérnum, et non rápiet eas quisquam de manu mea. Pater meus quod dedit mihi, majus ómnibus est: et nemo potest rápere de manu Patris mei. Ego et Pater unum sumus. Sustulérunt ergo lápides Judǽi, ut lapidárent eum. Respóndit eis Jesus: Multa bona ópera osténdi vobis ex Patre meo, propter quod eórum opus me lapidátis? Respondérunt ei Judǽi: De bono ópere non lapidámus te, sed de blasphémia: et quia tu, homo cum sis, facis teípsum Deum. Respóndit eis Jesus: Nonne scriptum est in lege vestra: quia ego dixi, dii estis? Si illos dixit deos, ad quos sermo Dei factus est, et non potest solvi Scriptúra: quem Pater sanctificávit, et misit in mundum, vos dícitis: Quia blasphémas: quia dixi, Fílius Dei sum? Si non fácio ópera Patris mei, nolíte crédere mihi. Si autem fácio, et si mihi non vultis crédere, opéribus crédite, ut cognoscátis et credátis, quia Pater in me est et ego in Patre.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 10:22-38
At that time, there took place at Jerusalem the feast of the Dedication; and it was winter. And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s portico. The Jews therefore gathered round Him, and said to Him, How long do You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus answered them, I tell you and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of My Father, these bear witness concerning Me. But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me. And I give them everlasting life; and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. What My Father has given Me is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch anything out of the hand of My Father. I and the Father are one. The Jews therefore took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from My Father. For which of these works do you stone Me? The Jews answered Him, Not for a good work do we stone you, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a man, make Yourself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said you are gods?’ If He called them gods to whom the word of God was addressed - and the Scripture cannot be broken, - do you say of Him Whom the Father has made holy and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not perform the works of My Father, do not believe Me. But if I do perform them, and if you are not willing to believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.
