23
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
24
the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, `Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'
25
Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;
26
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
27
according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,
28
and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;
29
my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;
30
I and the Father are one.'
31
Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;
32
Jesus answered them, `Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'
33
The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'
