23. And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.
24. And so the Jews surrounded him and said to him: "How long will you hold our souls in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
25. Jesus answered them: "I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about 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 eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
