John 10:19-30

English Standard Version

^19 (A)There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. ²⁰ Many of them said, ^(B)“He has a demon, and ^(C)is insane; why listen to him?” ²¹ Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. ^(D)Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

I and the Father Are One

²² At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, ²³ and Jesus was walking in the temple, ^(E)in the colonnade of Solomon. ²⁴ So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are ^(F)the Christ, ^(G)tell us plainly.” ²⁵ Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. ^(H)The works that I do ^(I)in my Father's name bear witness about me, ²⁶ but ^(J)you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. ^27 (K)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. ^28 (L)I give them eternal life, and ^(M)they will never perish, and ^(N)no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, ^(O)who has given them to me,^{[a] (P)}is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of ^(Q)the Father's hand. ^30 (R)I and the Father are one.”
