b'JOHN 10:22-30 22 Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomon\\u2019s Colonnade. 24 The Jews gathered around him, saying, \\u201cHow long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.\\u201d 25 Jesus answered, \\u201cI did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father\\u2019s name speak for me, 26 but you do not believe because 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 perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father\\u2019s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.\\u201d'
