25
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
26
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
28
and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand.
29
My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
30
I and the Father are one.
31

32
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
33
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
