John 10:25
10:25 Jesus replied, 1 “I told you and you do not believe. The deeds 2 I do in my Father’s name testify about me.
John 10:37-38
10:37 If I do not perform 3 the deeds 4 of my Father, do not believe me.
10:38 But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, 5 so that you may come to know 6 and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.”
1 tn Grk “answered them.”
2 tn Or “the works.”
3 tn Or “do.”
4 tn Or “works.”
5 tn Or “works.”
sn Jesus says that in the final analysis, the deeds he did should indicate whether he was truly from the Father. If the authorities could not believe in him, it would be better to believe in the deeds he did than not to believe at all.
6 tn Or “so that you may learn.”
