| 10:1 | `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber; |
| 10:2 | and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep; |
| 10:3 | to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth; |
| 10:4 | and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice; |
| 10:5 | and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.' |
| 10:6 | This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them; |
| 10:7 | Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you -- I am the door of the sheep; |
| 10:8 | all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them; |
| 10:9 | I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture. |
| 10:10 | `The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have `it' abundantly. |
| 10:11 | `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep; |
| 10:12 | and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep; |
| 10:13 | and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep. |
| 10:14 | `I am the good shepherd, and I know my `sheep', and am known by mine, |
| 10:15 | according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep, |
| 10:16 | and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock -- one shepherd. |
| 10:17 | `Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it; |
| 10:18 | no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.' |
| 10:19 | Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words, |
| 10:20 | and many of them said, `He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?' |
| 10:21 | others said, `These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?' |
| 10:22 | And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter, |
| 10:23 | and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon, |
| 10:24 | the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, `Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.' |
| 10:25 | Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me; |
| 10:26 | but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, |
| 10:27 | according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me, |
| 10:28 | and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand; |
| 10:29 | my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father; |
| 10:30 | I and the Father are one.' |
| 10:31 | Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him; |
| 10:32 | Jesus answered them, `Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?' |
| 10:33 | The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.' |
| 10:34 | Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods? |
| 10:35 | if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,) |
| 10:36 | of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am? |
| 10:37 | if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me; |
| 10:38 | and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me `is' the Father, and I in Him.' |
| 10:39 | Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand, |
| 10:40 | and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there, |
| 10:41 | and many came unto him, and said -- `John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;' |
| 10:42 | and many did believe in him there. |
| 10:1 | Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. |
| 10:2 | But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. |
| 10:3 | To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. |
| 10:4 | And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. |
| 10:5 | And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. |
| 10:6 | This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. |
| 10:7 | Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. |
| 10:8 | All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. |
| 10:9 | I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. |
| 10:10 | The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. |
| 10:11 | I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. |
| 10:12 | But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. |
| 10:13 | The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. |
| 10:14 | I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. |
| 10:15 | As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. |
| 10:16 | And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. |
| 10:17 | Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. |
| 10:18 | No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. |
| 10:19 | There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. |
| 10:20 | And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? |
| 10:21 | Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? |
| 10:22 | And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. |
| 10:23 | And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. |
| 10:24 | Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. |
| 10:25 | Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. |
| 10:26 | But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. |
| 10:27 | My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: |
| 10:28 | And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. |
| 10:29 | My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. |
| 10:30 | I and my Father are one. |
| 10:31 | Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. |
| 10:32 | Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? |
| 10:33 | The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. |
| 10:34 | Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? |
| 10:35 | If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; |
| 10:36 | Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? |
| 10:37 | If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. |
| 10:38 | But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. |
| 10:39 | Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, |
| 10:40 | And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. |
| 10:41 | And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. |
| 10:42 | And many believed on him there. |
| 10:1 | Truly, truly, I say to you, the one not entering through the door into the sheepfold, but going up by another way, that one is a thief and a robber. |
| 10:2 | But the one entering through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. |
| 10:3 | The doorkeeper opens to him, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. |
| 10:4 | And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes in front of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. |
| 10:5 | But they never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of the strangers. |
| 10:6 | Jesus spoke this allegory to them, but they did not know what it was which He spoke to them. |
| 10:7 | Then Jesus again said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you that I am the door of the sheep. |
| 10:8 | All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. |
| 10:9 | I am the door. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in, and will go out, and will find pasture. |
| 10:10 | The thief does not come except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life and may have it abundantly. |
| 10:11 | I am the Good Shepherd! The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. |
| 10:12 | But the hireling, not even being a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and forsakes the sheep and flees. And the wolf seizes them, and scatters the sheep. |
| 10:13 | But the hireling flees because he is a hireling, and there is not a care to him concerning the sheep. |
| 10:14 | I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that are Mine, and I am known by the ones that are Mine. |
| 10:15 | Even as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. |
| 10:16 | And I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock, one Shepherd. |
| 10:17 | For this reason My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that I may take it again. |
| 10:18 | No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I received this commandment from My Father. |
| 10:19 | Then a division occurred again among the Jews, because of these words. |
| 10:20 | And many of them said, He has a demon and is insane. Why do you hear him? |
| 10:21 | Others said, These are not words of one having been possessed by a demon. A demon is not able to open the eyes of blind ones. |
| 10:22 | And the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter. |
| 10:23 | And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's Porch. |
| 10:24 | Then the Jews encircled Him, and said to Him, How long do you lift up our soul? If you are the Christ, tell us publicly. |
| 10:25 | Jesus answered them, I told you, and you did not believe. The works which I do in the name of My Father, these bear witness about Me. |
| 10:26 | But you do not believe for you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. |
| 10:27 | My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. |
| 10:28 | And I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish to the age, and not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand. |
| 10:29 | My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of My Father's hand. |
| 10:30 | I and the Father are one! |
| 10:31 | Then again the Jews took up stones, that they might stone Him. |
| 10:32 | Jesus answered them, I showed you many good works from My Father. For which work of them do you stone Me? |
| 10:33 | The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not stone you concerning a good work, but concerning blasphemy; and because you, being a man, make yourself God. |
| 10:34 | Jesus answered them, Has it not been written in your Law, "I said, you are gods"? Psa. 82:6 |
| 10:35 | If He called those gods with whom the Word of God was, and the Scripture cannot be broken, |
| 10:36 | do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am Son of God? |
| 10:37 | If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me. |
| 10:38 | But if I do, even if you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may perceive and may believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him. |
| 10:39 | Then again they sought to seize Him. And He went forth out of their hand. |
| 10:40 | And He went away again across the Jordan to the place where was at first baptizing and remained there. |
| 10:41 | And many came to Him and said, indeed did no miracle, but all things that said concerning this One were true. |
| 10:42 | And many believed into Him there. |
