The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, (26) but you do not believe because you are not part of my flock. (27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (28) I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (29) My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. (30) I and the Father are one." (John 17:21) (31) The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.

The deeds I do by my Father's authority speak on my behalf; (26) but you will not believe, for 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 shall never die. No one can snatch them away from me. (29) What my Father has given me is greater than everything, and no one can snatch them away from the Father's care. (30) The Father and I are one." (John 17:21) (31) Then the people again picked up stones to throw at him.

If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly!" (25) Jesus answered: I have told you, and you refused to believe me. The things I do by my Father's authority show who I am. (26) But since you are not my sheep, you don't believe me. (27) My sheep know my voice, and I know them. They follow me, (28) and I give them eternal life, so that they will never be lost. No one can snatch them out of my hand. (29) My Father gave them to me, and he is greater than all others. No one can snatch them from his hands, (30) and I am one with the Father. (John 17:21) (31) Once again the Jewish leaders picked up stones in order to kill Jesus.

The works which I do in the name of My Father, these bear witness about Me. (26) But you do not believe for you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. (27) My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. (28) And I give eternal life to them, and they shall not perish to the age, never! And not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand. (29) My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of My Father's hand. (30) I and the Father are One!
