  • 2. But he that entreth in by the doore, is the sheephearde of the sheepe.
  • 3. To hym the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.
  • 4. And when he hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe folowe hym: for they knowe his voyce.
  • 5. A straunger wyll they not folowe, but wyll flee from hym: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers.
  • 6. This prouerbe spake Iesus vnto them: But they vnderstoode not what thynges they were, which he spake vnto them.

  • 8. All, euen as many as came before me, are thieues and robbers: but the sheepe dyd not heare them.
  • 9. I am the doore: by me yf any man enter in, he shalbe safe, and shall go in and out, and fynde pasture.
  • 10. A thiefe commeth not, but for to steale, kyll, & to destroy: I am come, that they myght haue lyfe, and that they myght haue it more aboundauntly.
  • 11. I am the good sheephearde. A good sheephearde, geueth his lyfe for the sheepe.
  • 12. An hyrelyng, and he which is not the sheephearde, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe commyng, and leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth, & scattereth the sheepe.

  • 16. And other sheepe I haue, which are not of this folde: them also must I bryng, & they shall heare my voyce, and there shalbe one folde, and one sheepehearde.
  • 17. Therfore doth my father loue me, because I put my lyfe [from me,] that I myght take it agayne.
  • 18. No man taketh it from me: but I put it away of my selfe. I haue power to put it from me, and I haue power to take it agayne. This commaundement haue I receaued of my father.
  • 19. There was a discention therefore agayne among the Iewes, for these sayinges.
  • 20. And many of them sayde: He hath the deuyll, & is mad, why heare ye him?
  • 21. Other sayd: These are not ye wordes of hym that hath the deuyll. Can the deuyll open the eyes of the blynde?

  • 23. And Iesus walked in the temple, euen in Solomons porche.
  • 24. Then came the Iewes rounde about hym, and sayde vnto hym: Howe long doest thou make vs doubt? Yf thou be Christe, tell vs playnely.
  • 25. Iesus aunswered them: I tolde you, and ye beleue not. The workes that I do in my fathers name, they beare witnesse of me.
  • 26. But ye beleue not, because ye are not of my sheepe, as I sayde vnto you.
  • 27. My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they folowe me:
  • 28. And I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shal neuer perishe, neither shal any man plucke them out of my hande.
  • 29. My father which gaue them me, is greater then all: and no man is able to take them out of my fathers hande.
  • 30. I and my father are one.
  • 31. Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones, to stone hym [withall.]
  • 32. Iesus aunswered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my father: for which of the do ye stone me?
  • 33. The Iewes aunswered hym, saying: For thy good workes [sake] we stone thee not, but for thy blasphemie, and because that thou beyng a man, makest thy selfe God.
  • 34. Iesus aunswered them: Is it not written in your lawe, I sayde, ye are Gods?
  • 35. If he called them Gods, vnto whom the worde of God was spoken, and the scripture can not be broken:
  • 36. Say ye of hym whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the worlde, thou blasphemest, because I saide I am the sonne of God?
  • 37. Yf I do not the workes of my father, beleue me not:
  • 38. But yf I do, and yf ye beleue not me, beleue the workes: that ye may knowe and beleue, that the father is in me, and I in hym.

  • 42. And many beleued on hym there.
