“Then
came the Feast of Dedication at
Jerusalem. It was winter, 23and
Jesus was in the temple area walking in
Solomon's Colonnade. 24The
Jews gathered around him, saying,
"How long will you keep us in
suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us
plainly." 25Jesus
answered, "I did tell you, but you
do not believe. The miracles I do in my
Father's name speak for me, 26but
you do not believe because you are not
my sheep. 27My sheep listen
to my voice; I know them, and they
follow me. 28I give them
eternal life, and they shall never
perish; no one can snatch them out of my
hand. 29My Father, who has
given them to me, is greater than all;
no one can snatch them out of my
Father's hand.”
