Chapter 10

1


 

  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


 

  But he that entereth 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 spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say to 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 shall enter he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  

 

 

--

10


 

  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 giveth his life for the sheep.  

 

 

--

12


 

  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


 

  The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.  

 

 

--

14


 

  I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known by mine.  

 

 

--

15


 

  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 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 may 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 from my Father.

19


 

  There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.  

 

 

--

20


 

  And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is insane; why hear ye him?  

 

 

--

21


 

  Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a demon. Can a demon 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 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 ye believed not: the works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning me.  

 

 

--

26


 

  But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.  

 

 

--

27


 

  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:  

 

 

--

28


 

  And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.  

 

 

--

29


 

  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 my Father are one.  

 

 

--

31


 

  Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.  

 

 

--

32


 

  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, 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, to 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 from their hand,  

 

 

--

40


 

  And went again beyond Jordan, into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.  

 

 

--

41


 

  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 on him there.
