SCRIPTURE READING John 10:22-30
Further Conflict Over Jesus’ Claims 22
Then came the Festival of Dedication[a]
at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23
and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24
The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long
will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” 25
Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do
in my Father’s name testify about me, 26
but you do not 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 shall never perish;
no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29
My Father, who has given
them to me, is greater than all[b]
; no one can snatch them out of my
Father’s hand. 30
I and the Father are one.”
