010:019 Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words.

010:020 Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad.
Why do you listen to him?"

010:021 Others argued, "That is not the language of a demoniac:
and can a demon open blind men's eyes?"

010:022 The Dedication Festival came on in Jerusalem. It was winter,

010:023 and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon's Portico,

010:024 when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long
do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ,
tell us so plainly."

010:025 "I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe.
The deeds that I do in my Father's name—they give
testimony about me.

010:026 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.

010:027 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

010:028 I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never,
never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand.
