them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my
Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews 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, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy;
and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
D. John 14:7-9 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:

him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me,
Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou
then, Show us the Father?

his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the
nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 26 And after
eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then
came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace
be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold
my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be
not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him,
My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast
seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet
have believed.

counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told

every tongue shall swear.
