24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them,
26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
