Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. (10:25) com2

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. (10:26) com3

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (10:27)

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand (10:28)
