John 10:19-30
[19]Again the Jews were divided because of these words.
[20]Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind. Why
listen to him?" [21]Others were saying, "These are not the words of
one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" [22]At that
time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
[23]and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. [24]So the
Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in
suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." [25]Jesus answered,
"I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my
Father's name testify to me; [26]but you do not believe, because you do not
belong to my sheep. [27]My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow
me. [28]I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will
snatch them out of my hand. [29]What my Father has given me is greater than all
else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father's hand. [30]The Father and I
are one."

Psalm 36
[1] Transgression
speaks to the wicked
deep in
their hearts;
there is no
fear of God
before
their eyes.
[2] For they
flatter themselves in their own eyes
that
their iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
[3] The words of
their mouths are mischief and deceit;
they have
ceased to act wisely and do good.
[4] They plot
mischief while on their beds;
they are
set on a way that is not good;
they do
not reject evil.
[5] Your
steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
your
faithfulness to the clouds.
[6] Your
righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your
judgments are like the great deep;
you save
humans and animals alike, O LORD.
[7] How precious
is your steadfast love, O God!
All
people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
[8] They feast on
the abundance of your house,
and you
give them drink from the river of your delights.
[9] For with you
is the fountain of life;
in your
light we see light.
[10] O continue
your steadfast love to those who know you,
and your
salvation to the upright of heart!
[11] Do not let
the foot of the arrogant tread on me,
or the
hand of the wicked drive me away.
[12] There the
evildoers lie prostrate;
they are
thrust down, unable to rise.
