10:22 Then came the feast of the Dedication 1 in Jerusalem. 2 10:23 It was winter, 3 and Jesus was walking in the temple area 4 in Solomon’s Portico. 5 10:24 The Jewish leaders 6 surrounded him and asked, 7 “How long will you keep us in suspense? 8 If you are the Christ, 9 tell us plainly.” 10 10:25 Jesus replied, 11 “I told you and you do not believe. The deeds 12 I do in my Father’s name testify about me. 10:26 But you refuse to believe because you are not my sheep. 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 10:28 I give 13 them eternal life, and they will never perish; 14 no one will snatch 15 them from my hand. 10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, 16 and no one can snatch 17 them from my Father’s hand. 10:30 The Father and I 18 are one.” 19
