* Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem , and it was winter . * And Jesus walked in the temple , in Solomon 's porch . * Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him , "How long do You keep us in doubt ? If You are the Christ , tell us plainly ." * Jesus answered them , "I told you , and you do not believe . The works that I do in My Father 's name , they bear witness of Me . * But you do not believe , because you are not of My sheep , as I said to you . * My sheep hear My voice , and I know them , and they follow Me . * And I give them eternal life , and they shall never perish ; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand . * My Father , who has given them to Me , is greater than all ; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father 's hand . * I and My Father are one ." * Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him . * Jesus answered them , "Many good works I have shown you from My Father . For which of those works do you stone Me ?" * The Jews answered Him , saying , "For a good work we do not stone You , but for blasphemy , and because You , being a Man , make Yourself God ." * Jesus answered them , "Is it not written in your law , "I said , "You are gods "'? * If He called them gods , to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken ), * do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world , "You are blaspheming ,' because I said , "I am the Son of God '? * If I do not do the works of My Father , do not believe Me ; * but if I do , though you do not believe Me , believe the works , that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me , and I in Him ." * Therefore they sought again to seize Him , but He escaped out of their hand .
