25
Jesus answered, "I told you already, but you did not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name show who I am.
26
But you don't believe, because you are not my sheep.
27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28
I give them eternal life, and they will never die, and no one can steal them out of my hand.
29
My Father gave my sheep to me. He is greater than all, and no person can steal my sheep out of my Father's hand.
30
The Father and I are one."
31

32
But he said to them, "I have done many good works from the Father. Which of these good works are you killing me for?"
33
The Jews answered, "We are not killing you because of any good work you did, but because you speak against God. You are only a human, but you say you are the same as God!"
34
Jesus answered, "It is written in your law that God said, 'I said, you are gods.'
