LEB(i)
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon.
24 So the Jews surrounded him and began to say* to him, "⌊How long will you keep us in suspense⌋?* If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!"
25 Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe! The deeds that I do in the name of my Father, these testify about me.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep!
27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish ⌊forever⌋,* and no one will seize them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them* to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize them* from the Father's hand.
30 The Father and I are one."
31 Then* the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?"
33 The Jews answered him, "We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, although you* are a man, make yourself to be God!"
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods" '?*
35 If he called them 'gods' to whom the word of God came—and the scripture cannot be broken—
36 do you say about he whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
37 If I do not do the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.
38 But if I am doing them,* even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
39 So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.
