Gospel : John 10:31-42
31 Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
33 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),
36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'
37 If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.
38 But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptising at first, and there he stayed.
41 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."
42 Many believed in him there.

Jeremiah 20:10-13
10 For I have heard the defaming of many,
"Terror on every side!
Denounce, and we will denounce him!"
say all my familiar friends,
those who watch for my fall.
"Perhaps he will be persuaded,
and we shall prevail against him,
and we shall take our revenge on him."
11 But the LORD is with me as an awesome mighty one.
Therefore my persecutors shall stumble,
and they shall not prevail.
They shall be utterly disappointed,
because they have not dealt wisely,
even with an everlasting dishonour which shall never be forgotten.
12 But, the LORD of Armies, who tests the righteous,
who sees the heart and the mind,
let me see your vengeance on them;
for to you have I revealed my cause.
13 Sing to the LORD,
praise the LORD;
for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
