Many good works It is the same word as is used John 10:14 of the GoodShepherd: many beautiful, noble, excellent works. Comp. -He hath done all things well" (Mark 7:37) and -God saw that it was good" (Genesis 1:8; Genesis 1:10; Genesis 1:12, &c.). These excellent works proceed from the Father and are manifested by the Son.

for which of those Literally, for what kind of work among these; i.e. -what is the character of the work for which ye are in the act of stoning me?" It was precisely the character of the works which shewed that they were Divine, as some of them were disposed to think (John 10:21; John 7:26). Comp. Matthew 22:36, where the literal meaning is, -what kindof a commandment is great in the law?" and 1 Corinthians 15:35, -with what kindof body do they come?" See on John 12:33; John 18:32; John 21:19.
