16. And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17. On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
18. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
19. There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
20. but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
21. Others said, These sayings are not those of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
22. Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23. And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24. The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say so to us openly.
25. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
26. but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
28. and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand.
29. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
30. I and the Father are one.
31. The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
33. The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
