24. Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning me.
26. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28. And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.
29. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30. I and my Father are one.
31. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35. If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36. Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
