John 10:24-30

²⁴The Jews therefore came round about him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

²⁵Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.

²⁶But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.

²⁷My sheep hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me.

²⁸And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand.

²⁹That which my Father hath given me, is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father.

³⁰I and the Father are one.
