Our Gospel Lesson comes from John 10: 22-34

At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,

and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews

gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense?

If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered, “I have told you, and

you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name testify to me; but

you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my

voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will

never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has

given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s

hand. The Father and I are one.”

The Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus replied, “I have shown you

many good works from the Father. For which of these are you going to stone

me?” The Jews answered, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone

you, but for blasphemy, because you, though only a human being, are making

yourself God.” Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are

gods’?

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD!
