  17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

  18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”

  19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

  20 Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”

  21 Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”

  22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

  23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.

  24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

  25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.

  26 But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

  27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

  28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
