John 10
1 Verily, verily I say to you, he that goes not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief, and a robber.
Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that enters through the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the door-keeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he puts his own sheep out, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice.
And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 And a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.
But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spoke Jesus to them; but they knew not the meaning of the things which he spoke to them.
This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them.
7 Therefore Jesus spoke again to them: Verily, verily I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that came before me were thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.
9 I am the door: if any one enters through me, he shall be saved; and he shall go in and out, and find pasture.
I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in abundance.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep, and scatters them.
But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep:
13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine.
I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me.
15 As the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; those, also, must I bring, and they will hear my voice: and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
And other sheep I have, that 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.
17 For this reason, my Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I have received from my Father.
No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself, and I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 Again, therefore, there was a division among the Jews, on account of these words.
A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words.
20 And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him?
And many of them said: He hath a devil, and is mad: why hear you him?
21 Others said: These are not the words of one that has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil: Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

24 Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.
The Jews therefore came round about him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father’s name, these testify of me.
Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.
26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you,
But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27 my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
My sheep hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me.
29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.
I and the Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him.
The Jews then took up stones to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me?
Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God.
The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, maketh thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods?
Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said you are gods?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was committed, (and the scripture can not be made void, )
If he called them gods, to whom to word of God was spoken, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You speak impiously, because I said, I am the Son of God?
Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.
But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

But all things whatsoever John said of this man, were true. And many believed in him.
