John 10
1 Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by ye dore into the shepefolde but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe and a robber.
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 He that goeth in by ye dore is the shepeherde of ye shepe:
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 to him the porter openeth and the shepe heare his voyce and he calleth his awne shepe by name and leadeth 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 And when he hath sent forthe his awne shepe he goeth before them and the shepe folowe him: for they knowe his voyce.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 A straunger they will not folowe but will flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were which he spake vnto them.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All even as many as came before me are theves and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in he shalbe safe and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture.
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 thefe cometh not but forto steale kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe and have it more aboundantly.
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 ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 An heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe.
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 heyred servaut flyeth because he is an heyred servaunt and careth not for the shepe.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe of myne.
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe:
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 and other shepe I have which are not of this folde. Them also must I bringe that they maye heare my voyce and that ther maye be one flocke and one shepeherde.
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 Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne.
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 put it awaye of my selfe. I have power to put it from me and have power to take it agayne: This comaundment have I receaved 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 of my Father.
19 And ther was a dissencion agayne amoge the Iewes for these sayinges
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 and many of them sayd. He hath the devyll and is mad: why heare ye him?
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 Other sayde these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll open the eyes of the blynde?
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 Ierusalem ye feaste of the dedicacion and it was wynter:
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 and Iesus walked in Salomons porche.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then came the Iewes rounde aboute him and sayde vnto him: How longe dost thou make vs doute? Yf thou be Christ tell vs playnly.
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 Iesus answered them: I tolde you and ye beleve not. The workes yt I do in my fathers name they beare witnes of me.
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 beleve not because ye are not of my shepe. As I sayde vnto you:
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 my shepe heare my voyce and I knowe them and they folowe me
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 My father which gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde.
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 And I and my father are one.
I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Iewes agayne toke up stones to stone him with all.
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Iesus answered them: many good workes have I shewed you from my father: for which of them will ye stone me?
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Iewes answered him sayinge. For thy good workes sake we stone ye not: but for thy blasphemy and because that thou beinge a man makest thy selfe 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 Iesus answered them: Is it not written in youre lawe: I saye ye are goddes?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called the goddes vnto whom the worde of God was spoken (and the scripture can not be broken)
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 saye ye then to him whom the father hath sainctified and sent into the worlde thou blasphemest because I sayd I am the sonne 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 workes of my father beleve me not.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do though ye beleve not me yet beleve the workes that ye maye knowe and beleve 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 Agayne they went aboute to take him: but he escaped out of their hondes
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 and went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan into the place where Iohn before had baptised and there aboode.
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted vnto him and sayd. Iohn dyd no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man are true.
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 beleved on him theare.
And many believed on him there.
