About this episode

This episode discusses John 10:22-42, where Jesus confronts religious leaders during Hanukkah about His identity as the Messiah.

John 10:22–42 takes place during the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah) in Jerusalem, where religious leaders confront Jesus and demand that He state plainly whether He is the Messiah. Jesus responds that His words and works have already made His identity clear, but they do not believe because they are not His sheep; His sheep hear His voice, follow Him, and are eternally secure in His and the Father’s hands. When Jesus declares, “the Father and I are one,” the leaders try to stone Him for blasphemy, accusing Him of making Himself God. They attempt to arrest Him, but He escapes and withdraws beyond the Jordan, where many people believe in Him, affirming that John the Baptist’s testimony about Jesus was true.
