 24The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us openly.
 25Jesus answered, I told you, and ye believe not. The works which I do in the name of my Father, these bear witness of me;
 26but ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
 28and I give them life eternal, and they shall in no wise ever perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand.

 38but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may perceive and know that the Father [is] in me, and I in the Father.

a
The article, added in T. R., with many, is omitted by the best and most. "In synagogue" without the article, for there were many; "in the temple" with the article, for there was but one.
b
"Always", the more common reading, is inferior to "all."
