Season of Epiphany

30	What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith;
31	but that Israel who pursued the righteousness which is based on law did not succeed in fulfilling that law.
32	Why? Because they did not pursue it through faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33	as it is written, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall; and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

31	The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32	Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?"
33	The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God."
34	Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, `I said, you are gods'?
35	If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),
36	do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'?
37	If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;
38	but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
39	Again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
