JOHN ยท Chapter 10
10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enters not by the door
into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and
a robber.
10:2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3 To him the gate keeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and
he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
10:4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and
the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for
they know not the voice of strangers.
10:6 This parable spoke Jesus unto them: but they understood not what
things they were which he spoke unto them.
10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.
10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them.
10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and
shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10:10 The thief comes not, but in order to steal, and to kill, and
to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have
it more abundantly.
10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for
the sheep.
10:12 But he that is a worker, and not the shepherd, whose own the
sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and left the sheep, and flees: and
the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
10:13 The worker flees, because he is a worker, and cares not for the
sheep.
10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
10:15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay
down my life for the sheep.
10:16 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.
10:17 Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again.
10:18 No man takes 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.
10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these
sayings.
10:20 And many of them said, He has a devil, and is mad; why hear all
of you him?
10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that has
a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was
winter.
10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long
do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and all of you believed not:
the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
10:26 But all of you believe not, because all of you are not of my
sheep, as I said unto you.
10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man
is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
10:30 I and my Father are one.
10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my
Father; for which of those works do all of you stone me?
10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not;
but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.
10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, All
of you are gods?
10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God
came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
10:36 Say all of you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent
into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
10:38 But if I do, though all of you believe not me, believe the works:
that all of you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I
in him.
10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of
their hand,
10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at
first baptized; and there he abode.
10:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but
all things that John spoke of this man were true.
10:42 And many believed on him there.
