John 10:28-38

28 and I give 1eternal life to them, and they will never * perish; and 2no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29 "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
30 "3I and the Father are one."
31 The Jews 4picked up stones again to stone Him.
32 Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?"
33 The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for 5blasphemy; and because You, being a man, 6make Yourself out to be God."
34 Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in 7your 8Law, '9I SAID, YOU ARE GODS '?
35 "If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot * be broken ),
36 do you say of Him, whom the Father 10sanctified and 11sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, '12I am the Son of God '?
37 "13If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
38 but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe 14the works, so that you may know and understand that 15the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."
