| John 10:1 |
Truly, truly, I say to you, He who does not enter through the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from somewhere else, he is a thief and a robber; |
| John 10:2 |
But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. |
| John 10:3 |
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. |
| John 10:4 |
When he puts forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. |
| John 10:5 |
But they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers. |
| John 10:6 |
This parable Jesus spoke to them, but they did not know what those things meant that He spoke to them. |
| John 10:7 |
Jesus therefore said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you that I am the door of the sheep. |
| John 10:8 |
All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. |
| John 10:9 |
I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved and shall go in and go out and shall find pasture. |
| John 10:10 |
The thief does not come except to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and may have [it] abundantly. |
| John 10:11 |
I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. |
| John 10:12 |
He who is a hireling and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters [them.] |
| John 10:13 |
[He flees] because he is a hireling and it does not matter to him concerning the sheep. |
| John 10:14 |
I am the good Shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, |
| John 10:15 |
Even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. |
| John 10:16 |
And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must lead them also, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one Shepherd. |
| John 10:17 |
For this [reason] the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. |
| John 10:18 |
No one takes it away 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 received from My Father. |
| John 10:19 |
A division again took place among the Jews because of these words. |
| John 10:20 |
And many of them said, He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him? |
| John 10:21 |
Others said, These are not the words of one [who is] demon-possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? |
| John 10:22 |
At that time the Feast of the Dedication occurred in Jerusalem, [and] it was winter. |
| John 10:23 |
And Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. |
| John 10:24 |
The Jews therefore surrounded Him and said to Him, How long will You hold our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly. |
| John 10:25 |
Jesus answered them, I told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in My Father's name, these testify concerning Me; |
| John 10:26 |
But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep. |
| John 10:27 |
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; |
| John 10:28 |
And I give to them eternal life, and they shall by no means perish forever, and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. |
| John 10:29 |
My Father, who has given [them] to Me, is greater than all, and no one can snatch [them] out of My Father's hand. |
| John 10:30 |
I and the Father are one. |
| John 10:31 |
The Jews again took up stones that they might stone Him. |
| John 10:32 |
Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these works are you stoning Me? |
| John 10:33 |
The Jews answered Him, We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a man, are making Yourself God. |
| John 10:34 |
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, "I said, You are gods"? |
| John 10:35 |
If He said they were gods, to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken, |
| John 10:36 |
Do you say of Him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You are blaspheming, because I said, I am the Son of God? |
| John 10:37 |
If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; |
| John 10:38 |
But if I do [them,] even if you do not believe Me, believe the works so that you may come to know and continue to know that the Father is in Me and I am in the Father. |
| John 10:39 |
Then they sought again to seize Him, yet He went forth out of their hand. |
| John 10:40 |
And He went away again across the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at first, and He remained there. |
| John 10:41 |
And many came to Him and said, John did no sign, but all the things John said concerning this man were true. |
| John 10:42 |
And many believed into Him there. |
