John 10:22-30

Christian Standard Bible

Jesus at the Festival of Dedication

²² Then the Festival of Dedication took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter. ²³ Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s Colonnade.^{(A) 24} The Jews surrounded him and asked, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense?^[a] If you are the Messiah,^(B) tell us plainly.”^[b](C)

²⁵ “I did tell you and you don’t believe,” Jesus answered them. “The works^(D) that I do in my Father’s name testify about me. ²⁶ But you don’t believe because you are not of my sheep.^{[c](E) 27} My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ I give them eternal life,^(F) and they will never perish.^(G) No one will snatch^(H) them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father,^(I) who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one.”^(J)
