John 10:22-42—Jesus Accused of Blasphemy for Claiming to Be God + PDF Teaching Notes

The Jews asked Jesus for clarification on His Messianic status, and He gave them an answer far beyond what they were asking. Whereas Jesus privately told people that He was the Messiah (such as the woman at the well), He did not literally, plainly, flatly declare as much publically to the leadership. Instead, He revealed His true identity through veiled comments designed to lead them to the proper conclusion: He was both Messiah and Jehovah God in human form.
