³¹猶太人又拿起石頭來，要砸死他。

³¹The Jews then took up stones to stone him.

³²耶穌向他們說：「我賴我父給你們顯示了許多善事，為了那一件，你們要砸死我呢？」

³²Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?

³³猶太人回答說：「為了善事，我們不會砸死你；而是為了褻瀆的話，因為你是人，卻把你自己當作天主。」

³³The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, maketh thyself God.

³⁴耶穌卻向他們說：「在你們的法律上不是記載著：『我說過：你們是神』麼？

³⁴Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said you are gods?

³⁵如果，那些承受天主話的，天主尚且稱他們為神──而經書是不能廢棄的──

³⁵If he called them gods, to whom to word of God was spoken, and the scripture cannot be broken;

³⁶那麼，父所祝聖並派遣到世界上來的，因為說過：我是天主子，你們就說：你說褻瀆的話麼？

³⁶Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

³⁷假使我不作我父的工作，你們就不必信我；

³⁷If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

³⁸但若是我作了，你們縱然不肯信我，至少要信這些工作，如此你們必定認出父在我內，我在父內。」

³⁸But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

³⁹他們又企圖捉拿他，他卻從他們手中走脫了。

³⁹They sought therefore to take him; and he escaped out of their hands.

⁴⁰耶穌又到約但河對岸，若翰先前施洗的地方去了，並住在那裡。

⁴⁰And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first; and there he abode.

⁴¹有許多人來到他那裡說：「若翰固然沒有行過神跡，但若翰關於這人所說的一切，都是真的。」

⁴¹And many resorted to him, and they said: John indeed did no sign.

⁴²許多人就在那裡信了耶穌。

⁴²But all things whatsoever John said of this man, were true. And many believed in him.
