20. Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21. Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22. It was the Feast of Hanukkah at Jerusalem.
23. It was winter, and Yeshua was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24. The Judeans therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
25. Yeshua answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26. But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
28. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30. I and the Father are one.”
31. Therefore the Judeans took up stones again to stone him.
32. Yeshua answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
