John 10
1 “Truly, truly, 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;
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 the doorkeeper opens to this one, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he calls by name, and leads them forth;
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 may put forth his own sheep, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 and they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.”
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Jesus spoke this allegory to them, and they did not know what the things were that He was speaking to them;
This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.
7 Jesus therefore said again to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep;
Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 all, as many as came before Me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I AM the door, if anyone may come in through Me, he will be saved, and he will come in, and go out, and find pasture.
I am the door: by me if any man shall enter he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
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.
The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have [it] more abundantly.
11 I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays His life down for the sheep;
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 and the hired worker, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf snatches them, and scatters the sheep;
But he that is a 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.
13 and the hired worker flees because he is a hired worker, and is not caring for the sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not 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 know my [sheep], and am known by mine.
15 according as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father, and My life I lay down for the sheep,
As the Father knoweth me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it is necessary for Me to bring, and My voice they will hear, and there will become one flock—one shepherd.
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.
17 Because of this the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that again I may take it;
Therefore doth my 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; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from My Father.”
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 from my Father.
19 Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
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 demon, and is insane; why hear ye him?
21 Others said, “These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able to open blind men’s eyes?”
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 And the Dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 the Jews, therefore, came around Him and said to Him, “Until when do You hold our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us freely.”
Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in the Name of My Father, these testify concerning Me;
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning me.
26 but you do not believe, for you are not of My sheep,
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
27 according as I said to you: 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 has given to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch out of the hand of My Father;
My Father, who gave [them to] me, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one.”
I and [my] Father are one.
31 Therefore, again, the Jews took up stones that they may stone Him;
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from My Father; because of which work of them do you stone Me?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for slander, and because You, being a man, make Yourself God.”
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.
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not having been written in your law: I said, you 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 Writing is not able to be broken),
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say—You slander, because I said, I am [the] Son of God?
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?
37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 and if I do, even if you may not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and may believe that the Father [is] in Me, and I in Him.”
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.
39 Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He went forth out of their hand,
Therefore they sought again to take him; but he escaped from their hand,
40 and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first immersing, and remained there,
And went again beyond Jordan, into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 and many came to Him and said, “John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this One were true”;
And many resorted to him, and said, John performed no miracle; but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 and many believed in Him there.
And many believed on him there.
