JOHN 10:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?”
Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?' — Jesus appeals to His works (erga kalos, good or beautiful works) as evidence of His origin and identity, questioning why His deeds of healing and restoration would provoke execution. The works are attributed to the Father, establishing their divine source and purpose.
Church Fathers on John 10:32
At this speech, I and My Father are one, the Jews could not restrain their rage, but ran to take up stones, after their hardhearted way: Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
The heretics now, as unbelieving and rebellious against our Lord in heaven, show their impious hatred by the stones, i.e. the words they cast at Him; as if they would drag Him down again from His throne to the cross.
Our Lord remonstrates with them; Many good works have I showed you from My Father, strewing that they had no just reason for their anger.
