23
And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24
The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
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
The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
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.
