Riverside(i)
20 Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"
21 Others said, "These words are not those of a demoniac. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
22 Then came the Feast of Renovation in Jerusalem. It was winter.
23 Jesus was walking in the Temple courts, in Solomon's Colonnade.
24 The Jews came in a circle around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us frankly."
25 Jesus answered them, "I have told you and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name — these witness for 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 to them life eternal, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
