16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. |
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. |
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. |
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. |
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? |
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? |
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. |
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. |
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. |
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. |
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. |
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: |
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. |
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. |
30 I and my Father are one. |
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. |
