John 10:22-30

I and the Father Are One

22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter,

23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, ¹in the colonnade of Solomon.

24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are ²the Christ, ³tell us plainly."

25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. ⁴The works that I do ⁵in my Father's name bear witness about me,

26 but ⁶you do not believe because you are not part of my flock.

27 ⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

28 ⁸I give them eternal life, and ⁹they will never perish, and ¹⁰no one will snatch them out of my hand.

29 My Father, ¹¹who has given them to me,^[a]12 is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of ¹³the Father's hand.

30 ¹⁴I and the Father are one."
