John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, he is a thief and a robber;
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 enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the sheep.
But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.
7 Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
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 comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.
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 lays down his life for the sheep:
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.
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 Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known by mine.
15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
As the Father knoweth me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
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 On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
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 again among the Jews on account of these words;
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is insane; why hear ye him?
21 Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

24 The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
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 do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
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 do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
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;
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
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 the Father are one.
I and [my] Father are one.
31 The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
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, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
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?
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),
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?
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;
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I in him.
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 They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand

40 and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.

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.
And many believed on him there.
