I and the Father Are One - {Interlinear <Greek>}

10:22 - At that time {τότε<tote>} the {τὰ<ho>} Feast → of → Dedication {ἐνκαίνια<enkainia>} took place {Ἐγένετο<ginomai>} at {ἐν<en>} Jerusalem. {τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις· <ho Hierosolyma>} It → was {ἦν,<eimi>} winter, {χειμὼν <cheimōn>}

10:23 - and {καὶ<kai>} Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς<hoIēsous>} was → walking {περιεπάτει <peripateō>} in {ἐν<en>} the {τῷ<ho>} temple, {ἱερῷ<hieron>} in {ἐν<en>} the {τῇ <ho>} colonnade {στοᾷ<stoa>} of → Solomon. {τοῦ Σολομῶνος.<ho Solomōn>}

10:24 - So {οὖν<oun>} the {οἱ<ho>} Jews {Ἰουδαῖοι<Ioudaios>} gathered around {ἐκύκλωσαν<kykloō>} himα {ὐτὸν<autos>} and {καὶ<kai>} said {ἔλεγον <legō>} to → him, {αὐτῷ·<autos>} “How long {ἕως πότε<heōs pote>} will you keep us in suspense? {τὴν ψυχὴν ἡμῶν αἴρεις;<ho psychē egō airō>} If {εἰ<ei>} you {σὺ<sy>} are {εἶ<eimi>} the {ὁ <ho>} Christ, {χριστός,<Christos>} tell {εἰπὲ <legō>} us {ἡμῖν <egō>} plainly.” {παρρησίᾳ.<parrēsia>}

10:25 - Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς·<ho Iēsous>} answered {Ἀπεκρίθη<apokrinomai>} them, {αὐτοῖς<autos>} “I → told {εἶπον<legō>} you, {ὑμῖν,<sy>} and {καὶ<kai>} you → do → not {οὐ<ou>} believe. {πιστεύετε.<pisteuō>} The {τὰ<ho>} works {ἔργα <ergon>} that {ἃ<hos> I {ἐγὼ<egō>} do {ποιῶ<poieō>} in {ἐν<en>} my {μου,<egō>} Father’s {τοῦ πατρός<ho patēr>} name {τῷ ὀνόματι<ho onoma>} • {ταῦτα <houtos>} bear → witness {μαρτυρεῖ<martyreō>} about {περὶ<peri>} me, {ἐμοῦ·<egō>}

10:26 - but {ἀλλὰ<alla>} you {ὑμεῖς<sy>} do → not {οὐ<ou>} believe {πιστεύετε, <pisteuō>} because {ὅτι<hoti>} you → are {ἐστὲ<eimi>} not {οὐκ<ou>} among {ἐκ<ek>} my {τῶν ἐμῶν.<hoemos>} sheep. {τῶν προβάτων<ho probaton>}

10:27 - My {τὰ ἐμὰ<hoemos>} sheep {τὰ πρόβατα<ho probaton>} hear {ἀκούουσιν, <akouō>} my {μου<egō>} voice, {τῆς φωνῆς<ho phōnē>} and I {κἀγὼ<kagō>} know {γεινώσκω<ginōskō>} them, {αὐτά,<autos>} and {καὶ<kai>} they → follow {ἀκολουθοῦσίν<akoloutheō>} me. {μοι,<egō>}

10:28 - I {κἀγὼ<kagō>} give {δίδωμι<didōmi>} them {αὐτοῖς<autos>} eternal {αἰώνιον,<aiōnios>} life, {ζωὴν<zōē>} and {καὶ<kai>} they → will → never {οὐ μὴ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,<ou mē eis ho aiōn>} perish, {ἀπόλωνται<apollymi>} and {καὶ<kai>} no {οὐχ<ou>} one {τις<tis>} will → snatch {ἁρπάσει<harpazō>} them {αὐτὰ <autos>} out of {ἐκ<ek>} my {μου.<egō>} hand. {τῆς χειρός<ho cheir>}

10:29 - My {μου<egō>} Father, {ὁ πατήρ<ho patēr>} who {ὃς<hos>} has → given {δέδωκέν<didōmi>} them • to → me, {μοι<egō>} is {ἐστίν,<eimi>} greater {μείζων <meizōn>} than → all, {πάντων<pas>} and {καὶ<kai>} no one {οὐδεὶς <oudeis>} is → able {δύναται<dynamai>} to → snatch {ἁρπάζειν<harpazō>} them • out of {ἐκ<ek>} the {τοῦ<ho>} Father’s {πατρός.<patēr>} hand. {τῆς χειρὸς<ho cheir>}

10:30 - I {ἐγὼ<egō>} and {καὶ<kai>} the {ὁ<ho>} Father {πατὴρ<patēr>} are {ἐσμεν. <eimi>} one.” {ἕν<heis>}

10:31 - The {οἱ<ho>} Jews {Ἰουδαῖοι,<Ioudaios>} picked up {Ἐβάστασαν<bastazō>} stones {λίθους<lithos>} again {πάλιν<palin>} to {ἵνα<hina>} stone {λιθάσωσιν <lithazō>} him. {αὐτόν.<autos>}

10:32 - Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς·<ho Iēsous>} answered {ἀπεκρίθη<apokrinomai>} them, {αὐτοῖς<autos>} “I → have → shown {ἔδειξα<deiknymi>} you {ὑμῖν<sy>} many {πολλὰ<polys>} good {καλὰ<kalos>} works {ἔργα<ergon>} from {ἐκ<ek>} the {τοῦ <ho>} Father; {πατρός·<patēr>} for {διὰ<dia>} which {ποῖον<poios>} of → them {αὐτῶν<autos>} • {ἔργον<ergon>} are → you → going → to → stone {λιθάζετε;<lithazō>} me?” {ἐμὲ<egō>}

10:33 - The {οἱ<ho>} Jews {Ἰουδαῖοι·<Ioudaios>} answered {Ἀπεκρίθησαν <apokrinomai>} him, {αὐτῷ<autos>} “It • is • not {οὐ<ou>} for {περὶ<peri>} a → good {καλοῦ<kalos>} work {ἔργου<ergon>} that • we → are → going → to → stone {λιθάζομέν<lithazō>} you {σε<sy>} but {ἀλλὰ<alla>} for {περὶ<peri>} blasphemy, {βλασφημίας,<blasphēmia>} • {καὶ<kai>} because {ὅτι<hoti>} you, {σὺ<sy>} being {ὢν<eimi>} a → man, {ἄνθρωπος<anthrōpos>} make {ποιεῖς <poieō>} yourself {σεαυτὸν<seautou>} God.” {θεόν.<theos>}

10:34 - Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς·<ho Iēsous>} answered {Ἀπεκρίθη<apokrinomai>} them, {αὐτοῖς<autos>} “Is {ἔστιν<eimi>} it ← not {οὐκ<ou>} written {γεγραμμένον <graphō>} in {ἐν<en>} your {ὑμῶν<sy>} Law, {τῷ νόμῳ<ho nomos‘>} {ὅτι<hoti>} I {ἐγὼ<egō>} said, {εἶπα·<legō>} you → are {ἐστε;<eimi>} gods’? {θεοί<theos>}

10:35 - If {εἰ<ei>} he → called {εἶπεν<legō>} them {ἐκείνους<ekeinos>} gods {θεοὺς <theos>} to {πρὸς<pros>} whom {οὓς<hos>} the {ὁ<ho>} word {λόγος <logos>} of → God {τοῦ θεοῦ<ho theos>} came — {ἐγένετο,<ginomai>} and {καὶ <kai>} Scripture {ἡ γραφή,<ho graphē>} cannot {οὐ δύναται<oudynamai>} be → broken — {λυθῆναι<lyō>}

10:36 - do → you {ὑμεῖς<sy>} say {λέγετε<legō>} of • him → whom {ὃν<hos>} the {ὁ<ho>} Father {πατὴρ<patēr>} consecrated {ἡγίασεν<hagiazō>} and {καὶ <kai>} sent {ἀπέστειλεν<apostellō>} into {εἰς<eis>} the {τὸν<ho>} world, {κόσμον,<kosmos>} {‘ὅτι<hoti>} You → are → blaspheming, {’βλασφημεῖς,<blasphēmeō>} because {ὅτι<hoti>} I → said, {εἶπον·<legō>} ‘I → am {εἰμι;<eimi>} the → Son {υἱὸς<huios>} of → God’? {τοῦ θεοῦ<ho theos>}

10:37 - If {εἰ<ei>} I → am → not {οὐ<ou>} doing {ποιῶ<poieō>} the {τὰ<ho>} works {ἔργα<ergon>} of → my {μου,<egō>} Father, {τοῦ πατρός<ho patēr>} then • do → not {μὴ<mē>} believe {πιστεύετέ<pisteuō>} me; {μοι·<egō>}

10:38 - but {δὲ<de>} if {εἰ<ei>} I → do {ποιῶ,<poieō>} them, • even though {κἂν <kan>} you → do → not {μὴ<mē>} believe {πιστεύητε,<pisteuō>} me, {ἐμοὶ<egō>} believe {πιστεύετε<pisteuō>} the {τοῖς<ho>} works, {ἔργοις<ergon>} that {ἵνα <hina>} you → may → know {γνῶτε<ginōskō>} and {καὶ<kai>} understand {γεινώσκητε<ginōskō>} that {ὅτι<hoti>} the {ὁ<ho>} Father {πατὴρ<patēr>} is • in {ἐν<en>} me {ἐμοὶ<egō>} and I {κἀγὼ<kagō>} am • in {ἐν<en>} the {τῷ<ho>} Father.” {πατρί.<patēr>}

10:39 - Again {πάλιν<palin>} they → sought {Ἐζήτουν<zēteō>} to → arrest {πιάσαι·<piazō>} him, {αὐτὸν<autos>} but {καὶ<kai>} he → escaped {ἐξῆλθεν <exerchomai>} from {ἐκ<ek>} their {αὐτῶν<autos>} hands. {τῆς χειρὸς<ho cheir>}

10:40 - • {καὶ<kai>} He went away {ἀπῆλθεν<aperchomai>} again {πάλιν<palin>} across {πέραν<peran>} the {τοῦ<ho>} Jordan {Ἰορδάνου<Iordanēs>} to {εἰς<eis>} the {τὸν<ho>} place {τόπον<topos>} where {ὅπου<hopou>} John {Ἰωάννης <Iōannēs>} had → been {ἦν eimi>} baptizing {βαπτίζων,<baptizō>} at → first, {τὸ πρῶτον<ho prōtos>} and {καὶ<kai>} there {ἐκεῖ.<ekei>} he → remained. {ἔμεινεν<menō>}

10:41 - And {καὶ<kai>} many {πολλοὶ<polys>} came {ἦλθον<erchomai>} to {πρὸς <pros>} him. {αὐτὸν<autos>} And {καὶ<kai>} they → said, {ἔλεγον<legō>} “ {ὅτι <hoti>} John {Ἰωάννης<Iōannēs>} • {μὲν<men>} did {ἐποίησεν<poieō>} no {οὐδέν,<oudeis>} sign, {σημεῖον<sēmeion>} but {δὲ<de>} everything {πάντα<pas>} that {ὅσα<hosos>} John {Ἰωάννης<Iōannēs>} said {εἶπεν<legō>} about {περὶ<peri>} this {τούτου<houtos>} man ← was {ἦν.<eimi>} true.” {ἀληθῆ<alēthēs>}

John 10:22–41

The Lamb of God is God the Lamb. Could Jesus have been any more explicit about his identity and purpose as the Messiah? Apparently, many Jews still felt he was veiling his identity. But the issue wasn’t one of information but of illumination. Jesus’ sheep hear his voice. They understand him because they know him.

But more glorious than knowing Jesus is being known by Jesus (Gal. 4:9). To be known by Jesus is to be held secure by the grip of his grace. No one can snatch believers from Jesus’ hand or from the Father’s hand. Why? Because Jesus and the Father are one—they are both divine, acting with power and purpose that human forces cannot negate. This is an affirmation both of Jesus’ deity and of the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. The Jews certainly took it as such, because they wanted to stone Jesus for blasphemy.
