Contextual Overview

22 The Dedication Festival came on in Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon's Portico, 24 when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly." 25 "I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand. 29 What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one." 31 Again the Jews brought stones with which to stone Him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Jews took up stones - Stoning was the punishment of a blasphemer, Leviticus 24:14-16. They considered him guilty of blasphemy because he made himself equal with God, John 10:33.

Again - They had before plotted against his life John 5:16, John 5:18, and once at least they had taken up stones to destroy him, John 8:59.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 31. The Jews took up stones — To stone him as a blasphemer, Leviticus 24:14-16, because he said he was one with God. The evangelist adds the word again, because they had attempted to do this before, see John 8:59; but it seems they mere prevented from doing this now by the following discourse.
