“I have already told you,” Jesus said, “but you did not believe me. The miracles I do in my Father’s name prove who I am, but you do not believe, because you are not my sheep. My sheep recognize my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them everlasting life, so they will never die. No thief can take them from me, because my Father has placed them in my care. He is more powerful than anyone else, so no one can snatch them from his protection. My Father and I are one.”

He is more powerful than anyone else, so no one can snatch them from his protection. My Father and I are one.”
John 10:25–30 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.

“Don’t your own scriptures say, You are gods? We know the scripture is as true now as it was then. If God called those people gods, why do you call it blasphemy when the one whom the Father has anointed and sent into the world says, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I am not doing the works of my Father, then don’t believe me. But if I am, and you cannot believe me, then believe the miracles and know that the Father is in me and I am in him.”

If I am not doing the works of my Father, then don’t believe me. But if I am, and you cannot believe me, then believe the miracles and know that the Father is in me and I am in him.”
Psalm 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
John 10:34–38 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
