22 At that time the Ḥanukkah came to be in Yerushalayim, and it was winter.
23 And יהושע was walking in the Set-apart Place, in the porch of Shelomoh.
24 So the Yehuḏim surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in suspense? If You are the Messiah, say to us plainly.”
25 יהושע answered them, “I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s Name, they bear witness concerning Me.
26 “But you do not believe, because you 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 them everlasting life, and they shall by no means ever perish, and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.
