John 10:32 - Exposition

Jesus answered them, Many good ( καλά ) works have I shown you from the ( my £ ) Father . The works of Christ were lovely and radiant with Divine beneficence; they were revelations of the Father. "I showed you many of them," says he; "I gave you signs thus of the intimate relation between the whole of the self-revelation I am making and the Father" (cf. John 6:65 ; John 7:17 ; John 8:42 ). For which work of these (works) are ye stoning me? i . e . preparing by your gesture to carry this into effect. By these words, uttered with smiting irony and terrific though quiet indignation, Jesus answered their threat.
