26 I have many things to say and to judge of you; but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. 27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father bath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

37 I know that ye are Abraham's sred: but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

38 I speak that which I have seen with my father; and ye do that which ye have secu with your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

62 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead; whom makest thou thyself?

54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God.

55 Yet ye have not known him; but 1 know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but 1 know him, and keep bis saying.

28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

21 Then came the Jews round about him and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plaioly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that 1 do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me:

26 But ye believe not,because ye are not of my sheep,asIsaid unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me : 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand 29 My Father, which gave them me is greater than all; and none is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 T Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
