The Jews knew what he meant hence their reaction:
John 10
30 I and my Father are one.
31
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
(Notice their reaction to what he said)
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father;
for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and
because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Notice why they wanted to stone him. They understood that statement "I and my Father are one" to mean Jesus was claiming to be God.
