- 1. ¶ TRULY, truly, I say to you, He who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from another place, is a thief and a bandit.
- 2. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
- 3. To him the doorkeeper opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by their names and brings them out.
- 4. And when he has brought out his sheep, he goes before them; and his own sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
- 5. The sheep do not follow a stranger, but they run away from him, because they do not know the voice of a stranger.
- 6. Jesus spoke this parable to them; but they did not understand what he was telling them.
- 7. Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
- 8. All who have come are thieves and bandits, if the sheep did not hear them.
- 9. I am the door; if any man enter by me, he shall live and he shall come in and go out and find pasture.
- 10. A thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it abundantly.
- 11. I am the good shepherd; a good shepherd risks his life for the sake of his sheep.
- 12. But the hired person who is not the shepherd and who is not the owner of the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf comes and seizes and scatters the sheep.
- 13. The hired person runs away because he is hired and does not care for the sheep.
- 14. I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.
- 15. Just as my Father knows me, I also know my Father; and I lay down my life for the sake of the sheep.
- 16. I have other sheep also, which are not of this fold; them too I must bring, and they will hear my voice; and all the sheep will become one flock and one shepherd.
- 17. This is why my Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take it up again.
- 18. No man takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own will. Therefore I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.
- 19. ¶ There was again a division among the Jews because of these sayings.
- 20. And many of them said, He is insane and rambles; why do you listen to him?
- 21. Others said, These are not the words of a crazy man. Can a crazy man open the eyes of the blind?
- 22. ¶ Then came the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
- 23. And Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
- 24. Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, How long do you vex our soul with uncertainty? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.
- 25. Jesus answered, saying to them, I have told you, but you do not believe; yet the works which I do in the name of my Father testify of me.
- 26. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, just as I told you.
- 27. My own sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me;
- 28. And I give to them eternal life; and they will never perish, and no man will snatch them from my hands.
- 29. For my Father who gave them to me is greater than all; and no man can snatch anything from my Father’s hand.
- 30. I and my Father are of one accord.
- 31. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him.
- 32. Jesus said to them, I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which one of them do you stone me?
- 33. The Jews said to him, It is not because of the good works we stone you, but because you blaspheme; for while you are only a man, you make yourself God.
- 34. Jesus said to them, Is it not so written in your law, I said, you are gods?
- 35. If he called them gods because the word of God was with them (and the scripture cannot be broken)
- 36. Why to the one whom the Father sanctified and sent to the world, do you say, You blaspheme, just because I said to you, I am the Son of God.
- 37. If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
- 38. But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe in me, believe in the works, so that you may know and believe that my Father is with me and I am with my Father.
- 39. ¶ And they wanted again to seize him; but he escaped from their hands.
- 40. And he went away to the Jordan crossing, to the place where John was, where he first baptized; and he remained there.
- 41. And many men came to him and said, John did not perform a single miracle; but everything which John said concerning this man is true.
- 42. And many believed in him.
