| 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 . |
| 2 | But he that entereth 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 putteth forth his own sheep , he goeth before them , and the sheep follow him : for they know his voice . |
| 5 | And a stranger will they not follow , but will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers . |
| 6 | This parable spake Jesus unto them : but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them . |
| 7 | Then said Jesus unto them again , Verily , verily , I say unto 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 . |
| 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 . |
| 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 . |
| 11 | I am the good shepherd : the good shepherd giveth his life 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 . |
| 13 | The hireling fleeth , because he is an hireling , and careth not for the sheep . |
| 14 | I am the good shepherd , and know my [sheep], and am known of mine . |
| 15 | As the Father knoweth me , even so know I the Father : and I lay down my life 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 . |
| 17 | Therefore doth my Father love me , because I lay down my life , that I might take it again . |
| 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 . |
| 19 | There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings . |
| 20 | And many of them said , He hath a devil , and is mad ; why hear ye him ? |
| 21 | Others said , These are not the words of him that hath a devil . Can a devil open the eyes of the blind ? |
| 22 | And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication , and it was winter . |
| 23 | And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch . |
| 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 . |
| 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 . |
| 26 | But ye believe not , because ye are not of my sheep , as I said unto you . |
| 27 | My sheep hear my voice , and I know them , and they follow me : |
| 28 | And I give unto them eternal life ; and they shall never perish , neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand . |
| 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 . |
| 30 | I and [my] Father are one . |
| 31 | Then the Jews took up stones again to 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 ? |
| 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 . |
| 34 | Jesus answered them , Is it not 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 ; |
| 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 ? |
| 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 take him : but he escaped out of their hand , |
| 40 | And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized ; and there he abode . |
| 41 | And many resorted unto him , and said , John did no miracle : but all things that John spake of this man were true . |
| 42 | And many believed on him there . |
