Contextual Overview

²² The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter, ²³ and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon. ²⁴ The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him - How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly. ²⁵ Jesus answered them - I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me. ²⁶ But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. ²⁷ My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, - and, I, know, them, and they follow me, - ²⁸ And, I, give unto them life age-abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age-abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. ²⁹ What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: - ³⁰ I and the Father, are, one. ³¹ The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Jesus answered them, many good works,.... Such as healing the sick, and all manner of diseases; dispossessing devils, cleansing lepers, giving sight to the blind, causing the dumb to speak, the deaf to hear, and the lame to walk; which were not only works of power, but of mercy and beneficence; and therefore are called good works, as well as they were great and miraculous ones:

have I showed you from my Father; which Christ did in the name, and by the command and authority of the Father; who gave him them to do, and did them by him; and which were evident and notorious, and were done so openly and publicly, that they could not be denied:

for which of these works do ye stone me? suggesting, that his public life had been a continued series of such kind actions to the sons of men, and it could be for nothing else surely, that they took up stones to stone him; wherefore the part they acted, was a most ungrateful, cruel, and barbarous one.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Many good works - Many miracles of benevolence healing the sick, etc. His miracles were good works, as they tended to promote the happiness of men, and were proofs of his benevolence. He had performed no other works than those of benevolence; he knew that they could charge him with no other, and he confidently appealed to them as witnesses of that. Happy would it be if all, when they are opposed and persecuted, could appeal even to their persecutors in proof of their own innocence.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. Many good works have I showed you — I have healed your sick, delivered those of you who were possessed from the power of demons; I have fed multitudes of your poor, and I have taught you in all places, at all times, without expense, with patience; and is this my reward?

To show good works or good things is a Hebraism, which signifies to do them really, to give good things liberally. The phrase is similar to the following: Who will SHOW us any good? Psalms 4:6; i.e. who shall give us good things. SHOW us thy mercy, Psalms 85:7; i.e. give us to feel the effects of thy mercy. Thou hast SHOWED thy people hard things, Psalms 60:3; i.e. thou hast treated them with rigour. Thou hast SHOWED me great and sore troubles, Psalms 71:20; i.e. thou hast exposed me to terrible hardships.
