... that I do in my Father’s name bear witness [29, 30] to me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [31] And my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they come after me: and I give them eternal life; and they shall not perish for ever, nor shall any man snatch [32] them out of my hands. For the Father, who hath given them unto me, is greater [33] than all; and no man is able to take them from the hand of my Father. I and [34, 35] my Father are one.[John 10:31] And the Jews took stones to stone him. Jesus said unto them, Many good deeds from my Father have I shewed you; because of which of them, [36] then, do ye stone me? The Jews said unto him, Not for the good deeds do we stone thee, but because thou ...

When the Jews were moved to wrath by the novelty of Christ’s teaching we read, The Jews therefore took up stones to stone Him. He answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone Me? The Jews answered Him, For a good work we stone Thee not, but for blasphemy; and because Thou, being a man, makest Thyself God[John 10:31-33].

It was at the words, I and the Father are One, that the Jews took up stones. Their ...

Chapter XVII. St. Ambrose shows by instances that the places in which those words were spoken help to the understanding of the words of the Lord; he shows that Christ uttered the passage quoted from St. John in Solomon's porch, by which is signified the mind of a wise man, for he says that Christ would not have uttered this saying in the heart of a foolish or contentious man.

Lastly, the Jews hearing, “I and the Father are One, took up stones to stone Him.”[John 10:31]
