1 Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entreth not
into the sheep-fold by the door, but climbeth up some
other way, note is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that cometh
in by the door, is the 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.
4 And when he bringeth forth his note sheep, he goeth before
them: and the sheep follow him; because they know
his voice.
5 But they note will not follow a stranger, but
will flee from him; because they know not the voice of
strangers.
6 This parable Jesus spake unto them; but
they did not understand what note He said to them.
-- --
7 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily
I tell you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 All note that
came note before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep
did not note regard them.
9 I am the door: by me if any
man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and note
out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh only to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may
have life, and may have it in note perfection.
11 I am the
good shepherd: the note good shepherd layeth down his life
for the sheep.
12 But the hireling, note that is not the true
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf
coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the
wolf seizeth them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 Now the
hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not
note for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and I know
my own sheep, and am known by note them.
15 Even
as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father:
and I note lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And I
have other sheep, which are not of this fold: them also
I must bring, and they will hear my voice; note so there
shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 For this doth the
Father love me; because I lay down my life: that I
may take it again.
18 None 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 I have
received from my Father.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews
on account of these words.
20 And many of them said,
He note is a demoniac, and is mad; why do ye hear Him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of a demoniac;
can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 Now it was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and
it was winter.
23 And Jesus was walking note about the
temple, in Solomon's note portico.
24 Then the Jews came
round Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou
hold note us in suspense? If thou be the note Messiah, tell us
plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do
not believe me: though the works that I do in the name
of my Father, note testify of me.
26 But ye believe not; because
-- --
ye are not of my sheep: for as I said note unto you,
my sheep hear my voice,
27 and I know them, and they
follow me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall
never perish; nor shall any one force them out of my
hand.
29 My Father who gave them to me, is greater than
all: and therefore none is able to force them out of my
Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one. noteThen the
Jews again note took up stones to stone Him.
31 But
Jesus note said unto them,
32 Many good works have I
shewn you from my Father; for which of those works
do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, We
do not go about to stone thee for a good work, but for
blasphemy; and because thou being a man makest thyself
God.
34 Jesus note replied, Is it not written in your law, “I
have said, ye are gods?”
35 And if note it stiled them gods,
to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot
be note made void,
36 ) do ye say of Him, whom the Father
hath sanctified, and sent into the world, note thou
blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If
I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
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.
39 Therefore they sought again to seize
Him; note but He escaped out of their hand, and went
away again beyond Jordan,
40 to the place where John was
at first baptizing, and there He abode.
41 And many resorted
to Him, and said, John note wrought no miracle,
but all note that he said concerning this man, was true.
42 And many there believed on Him.
