John 10:22-30

New Century Version

Jesus Is Rejected

²² The time came for the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, ²³ and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon’s Porch. ²⁴ Some people gathered around him and said, “How long will you make us wonder about you? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

²⁵ Jesus answered, “I told you already, but you did not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name show who I am. ²⁶ But you don’t believe, because you are not my sheep. ²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ I give them eternal life, and they will never die, and no one can steal them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father gave my sheep to me. He is greater than all, and no person can steal my sheep out of my Father’s hand. ³⁰ The Father and I are one.”
