John 10:32-33

10:32 Jesus said to them, ¹  “I have shown you many good deeds ²  from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?” 10:33 The Jewish leaders ³  replied, ⁴  “We are not going to stone you for a good deed ⁵  but for blasphemy, ⁶  because ⁷  you, a man, are claiming to be God.” ⁸ 

[10:32]  ¹ tn Grk “Jesus answered them.”

[10:32]  ² tn Or “good works.”

[10:33]  ³ tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” Here again the phrase refers to the Jewish leaders. See the notes on the phrase “Jewish people” in v. 19 and “Jewish leaders” in vv. 24, 31.

[10:33]  ⁴ tn Grk “answered him.”

[10:33]  ⁵ tn Or “good work.”

[10:33]  ⁸ tn Grk “you, a man, make yourself to be God.”
