John 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.
'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;
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
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;
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
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;
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Jesus said therefore again to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — I am the door of the sheep;
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
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.
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 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.
'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.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;
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.
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;
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
'I am the good shepherd, and I know my [sheep], and am known by mine,
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,
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.
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.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;
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.
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.'
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
and many of them said, 'He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
others said, 'These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
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.
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.'
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.
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;
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,
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.
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;
30 I and my Father are one.
I and the Father are one.'
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Jesus answered them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'
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.
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.'
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Jesus answered them, 'Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken, )
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?
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?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;
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.
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.'
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
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;'
42 And many believed on him there.
and many did believe in him there.
