JOHN 10:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.”
Jesus answered, 'I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify about me — instead of a new declaration, Jesus points to His previous teachings and especially to His signs (erga) as evidence of His identity. Works done 'in my Father's name' are authenticated revelations of the Father's character and purposes. The problem is not lack of clarity but lack of faith: they have been told through word and deed, but they refuse to believe.
Church Fathers on John 10:25
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication. Encænia is the feast of the dedication of the temple; from the Greek word signifying new. The dedication of any thing new was called encænia.
It was the feast of the dedication of the temple, after the return from the Babylonish captivity.
Or, it was in memory of the dedication under Judas Maccabeus. The first dedication was that of Solomon in the autumn; the second that of Zorobabel, and the priest Jesus in the spring. This was in winter time.
