    John 10:38

    I've heard this a lot lately, and no, it's not a real quote from the Bible. It's unfortunately something that Bush said a year or so ago in a press conference. He was trying to reinforce his "You're either for us or you're against us" line with Biblical text - another unfortunate idea.

    So no, it has no reference (except a couple very loose interpretations vaguely linked) to anything written in the Bible. The closest is the John 10:38 in the New International Version (very bad translations from the original text and should not be trusted as a reference for the original writings):

    But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

    It needs to be read in its full context, you can not take loose verses from the Bible.

    Here is John 10:31-38

    31

    The Jews again picked up rocks to stone him.

    32

    Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?"

    33

    The Jews answered him, "We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God."

    34

    15 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?

    35

    If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside,

    36

    can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated 16 and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

    37

    If I do not perform my Father's works, do not believe me;

    38

    but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize (and understand) that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

    38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”

    I am not sure Jesus himself was purported to have said this by those who wrote the gospels (who, BTW were not eyewitnesses to the events they describe). I would look in Acts or the Letters said to be written by Paul. Sounds like something Paul said (Saul of Tarsus).

    this scripture in the bible is located in the new testament john chapter 5 verse 36.

    There is no so such "Quote in the Bible" The closed thing i know of is I am the way and the light who so ever Belives in meill have ever lasting life. Please tell you friend to go back and reread his Bible.

    I don't remember that from the Bible. I don't think it's there. He said that he is the only way to heaven and that you have to go through Him to get there.
