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
