--John-- And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. (10:22) And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. (10:23) Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. (10:24) 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) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. (10:26) 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) My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand. (10:29) I and [my] Father are one.

(10:36) If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. (10:37) But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and I in him.
