John 10:25-40

²⁵Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;

²⁶but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,

²⁷according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

³⁵if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

³⁸and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.'

³⁹Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,
