23. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
24. The Jews therefore came round about him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25. Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.
26. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27. My sheep hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me.
28. And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand.
