John 10:26 ASV

²⁴  The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.

²⁵  Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.

²⁶  But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.

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, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
