22. The time came for the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. This was during the winter.
23. Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon’s Porch.
24. The Jews gathered around him and said, “How long will you make us wonder about you? If you are the Christ, then tell us plainly.”
25. Jesus answered, “I told you already, but you did not believe. I do miracles in my Father’s name. Those miracles show who I am.
26. But you don’t believe because you are not my sheep.
27. My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
28. I give them eternal life, and they will never die. And no person can steal them out of my hand.
29. My Father gave my sheep to me. He is greater than all, and no person can steal my sheep out of my Father’s hand.
30. The Father and I are one.”
31. Again the Jews picked up stones to kill Jesus.
