It says that sheep will always know their Shepard and won't follow any other voice because they do not recognize it. 
Jesus' reply to the Pharisees was that they should not believe that he was God if he did not do the works of God, but if he did the works then they should believe based upon that, if not their blind faith in him.  How much do our works say that we are God's children? 

What does Jesus mean by 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”

I honestly don't know if I would have believed that it was the work of God to raise a dead man.  

We should be able to recognize and submit to the suffering that God put us on this earth to endure in order to glorify him and pointless suffering.  
27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”

This is one of the things that I think we are most susceptible to.  Not that we don't understand what God wants but that we love human praise more than God's praise.  even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved human praise more than praise from God.

47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn themat the last day.
