John 10:28

26 But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.

27 My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.

29 My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

30 I and the Father are one.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
