In Context

26+ 10:26 (26-28) MPr: Rabbinic Tradition says, in the hour when King Messiah comes, He will stand on the roof of the Temple and proclaim the hour of their deliverance has come. Those who believe will rejoice in the light that had risen upon them (Is 60:1), “Arise, shine, for thy light is come.” This light is for those who believe only (Is 60:2), “For darkness shall cover the earth.” In that same hour, God uses the light of the Messiah and of Israel to shine on all nations that they should walk in the light of Messiah and of Israel (Is 60:3), “The Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” (Ps 139:23-24, 26 in Yalkut, vol. ii. Par. 359, p. 56 c.). (Ps 139:23-24) But you don’t trust, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

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