John 10
1 Truly, truly, I say unto you, the one coming not in through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbing up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.
Truly, truly do I say to you, He that entereth not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber;
2 And the one coming in through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
but he that entereth through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter 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 his own sheep he calleth by name, and leadeth them out.
4 When He may put out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow Him: because they know his voice:
When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 but they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him: because they know not the voice of strangers.
But a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 He spoke this parable to them: but they did not know what things He was speaking to them.
This parable Jesus spoke to them; but they did not understand what the things were which he spoke to them.
7 Then Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep.
Jesus therefore said, Truly, truly do I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All so many as came were thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
All those who came are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: if any one may enter in through me, he shall be saved; he shall go in and come out, and find pasture.
I am the door; if any one enter through me, he will be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief does not come, but that he may steal, and slay, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I came that they might have life, and have abundance.
11 I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 The hireling, and the one not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees away, and the wolf seizes and scatters them:
He that is a hireling and not a shepherd, nor the owner of the sheep, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;
13 because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep.
because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the Good Shepherd; I know mine, and mine know me,
I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and they know me,
15 as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down My soul for the sheep.
even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep.
16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: and it behooves me to bring them and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring; and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17 Therefore my Father loves Me, because I lay down my soul, that I may take it again.
On this account the Father loveth 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 power to lay it down, and power to receive it again. I received this commandment from my Father.
No one taketh 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 charge I received from my Father.
19 Again there was a schism among the Jews on account of these words.
Again there arose a division among the Jews on account of these words.
20 Then many of them were saying, He has a demon, and is gone mad; why do you hear Him? Others were saying,
Many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why do ye hear him?
21 These are not the words of a demonized man. Whether is a demon able to open the eyes of the blind?
Others said, These are not the words of one that hath a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was the feast of dedication in Jerusalem: and it was winter;
And the feast of the dedication came at Jerusalem. It was winter;
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
24 Then the Jews surrounded Him, and said to Him, How long do you take away our soul?
Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our minds in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 If thou art the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus responded, I told you, and you do not believe: the works which I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.
Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
But ye do not believe, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
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 The Father, who has given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of the hand of the Father.
That which my Father hath given me is greater than all; and no one is able to tear [[them]] out of the Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one.
I and the Father are one.
31 Again the Jews took up stones, that they might stone Him.
The Jews again took up stones to stone him.
32 Jesus responded to them, I have shown unto you many beautiful works from the Father; on account of which of these do you stone me?
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews responded to Him, We do not stone Thee for good work, but for blasphemy; because Thou, being a man, art making Thyself God.
The Jews answered him, Not for a good work do we stone thee, but for blasphemy, and because thou, who art a man, makest thyself God.
34 And Jesus responded to them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, Ye are gods?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, “I said, ye are gods”?
35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture is not able to be broken),
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be made void,
36 whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say; Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
say ye of him whom the Father 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 If I do, believe not me, believe the works: that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.
But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
39 They sought again to take Him: and He passed out of their hand.
They sought therefore to seize him; and he went forth out of their hands.
40 And again He departed beyond the Jordan into the place where John was first baptizing; and remained there:
And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing; and there he abode.
41 and many came to Hint, and said, that John indeed did no miracle; but all things so many as John spoke concerning this One are true.
And many came to him, and said, John indeed wrought no sign; but everything that John said of this man was true.
42 And many believed on Him there.
And many believed in him there.
