25. Jesus answered them: "I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about me.
26. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27. My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
28. And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
29. What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
30. I and the Father are one."
31. Therefore, the Jews took up stones, in order to stone him.
32. Jesus answered them: "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
33. The Jews answered him: "We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy and because, though you are a man, you make yourself God."
34. Jesus responded to them: "Is it not written in your law, 'I said: you are gods?'
35. If he called those to whom the word of God was given gods, and Scripture cannot be broken,
36. why do you say, about him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, 'You have blasphemed,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'
37. If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe in me.
38. But if I do them, even if you are not willing to believe in me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father."
39. Therefore, they sought to apprehend him, but he escaped from their hands.
40. And he went again across the Jordan, to that place where John first was baptizing. And he lodged there.
41. And many went out to him. And they were saying: "Indeed, John accomplished no signs.
42. But all things whatsoever that John said about this man were true." And many believed in him.
