<p>10:25 <i>Jesus answered them: I told you and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify of me</i>- See on :24. There was no unclarity in the Lord's message, and the miracles done were beyond question His authentication as having come from God. Of course, they'd have complained that He had <i>not</i> told them in so many words. His comment was that His &quot;works&quot;, His life, His being, showed plainly who He was, His personality was &quot;the plain word&quot; which they were demanding. He was the word made flesh in totality and to perfection. See on Jn. 14:10. John uses <i>ergon</i>, &quot;works&quot;, for far more than miracles; effectively the term means 'way of life' in 3:19-21; 6:29; 8:39,41; 1Jn. 3:12). The Lord's being and person, as well as His miracles, was His testimony to men, just as ours should be. It is not publicly performed good works cp. miracles which have lasting power in their testimony, but the works of a life worked or done in the Lord.</p>
