22 At that time came the Feast of Rededication at Jerusalem. It was winter,
23 and Jesus was walking in Solomon's portico.
24 So the Jews surrounded Him and kept asking Him, "How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are really the Christ, tell us so plainly."
25 Jesus answered them, "I have already told you so, but you do not believe me. The works which I am doing on my Father's authority are my credentials,
26 but still you do not believe in me, for you do not belong to my sheep.
27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me,
28 and I give to them eternal life, and they shall never get lost, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
29 My father who gave them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
