20 And many of them said, a“He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?”
21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. aCan a demon bopen the eyes of the blind?”
The Shepherd Knows His Sheep
22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple, ain Solomon’s porch.
24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in1 doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. aThe works that I do in My Father’s name, they bbear witness of Me.
27 aMy sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29 aMy Father, bwho has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus
31 Then athe Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for ablasphemy, and because You, being a Man, bmake Yourself God.”
36 do you say of Him awhom the Father sanctified and bsent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ cbecause I said, ‘I am dthe Son of God’?
37 aIf I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, abelieve the works, that you may know and1 believe bthat the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
39 aTherefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.
The Believers Beyond Jordan
40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place awhere John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.
41 Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, abut all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.”
42 And many believed in Him there.
