John chapter 10, verses 22through 30 -At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, (23) and Jesus waswalking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. (24) So the Jews gathered around him and said tohim, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." (25) Jesus answeredthem, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness aboutme, (26) but you do not believe because you are not part of my flock. (27) My sheep hear my voice, andI know them, and they follow me. (28) I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no onewill snatch them out of my hand. (29) My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and noone is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. (30) I and the Father are one." (ESV)
