John 10:22-33
Jesus walks in the temple and explains His works, then He talks about eternal life. Jesus and His Father are one. The Jews want to stone Him because He is only a talking man, but is making Himself God.

John 10:22-33
22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30I and my Father are one. 31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Jesus walks into a temple and the people don’t want Him to be vague in His saying any longer. So Jesus honors their request. He tell them to look at His works. His works bear witness that He has reversed/fulfilled all past wrongs, and now He is prophesying the future that He will fulfill.

Jesus gives the same eternal life that was in the Garden of Eden in the Tree of Life. All they have to do it chose Him, and choosing Jesus is the same a choosing the Father.

They don’t choose Jesus, but want to stone Him.

Jesus is playing with them now. Since Jesus has used His “works” to reverse all their “not choosing God” in the past, He now ask them which of these works (that fixed all your wrongs choices) do you want to stone me for.

But they want to stone Him because is is only a man and makes Himself out as a God.

The reason they want to stone Jesus is the only reason that proves that He is God. God had to return to them as a speaking man because they chose Moses (a speaking man), instead of God at the mountain.

John 20:19 – John 21:14
Jesus appears in closed room
John 20:19-30
19Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. 24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

Jesus appears in closed room again
John 20:26-29
26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

John 20:30-31
30And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Jesus appears in open area with water and fire pit
John 21:1-9
1After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise showed he himself. 2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 4But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 6And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. 8And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. 9As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

Invites you into His Tabernacle to dine
John 21:10-14
10Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 11Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

***They dine on what Jesus already had, not what they brought.***

12Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 13Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. 14This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

Jesus builds a temple with His “works” as He returns to the disciples three times; first, in a closed room (Holy of Holies); second, in a closed room (Holy Place); third, in an open area with water and and fire pit (Outer Court).

Jesus then wants them to dine with Him. He provides the food, just like in the Garden of Eden.

Jesus prophesied in the temple to look at His works. His works have reversed every death choice from the past and now He offers them eternal life if they will chose Him as He stands before them.

Jesus then fulfills His own prophecy by using His three appearances (or works) to construct the three area temple and then provides them food.
