John 10:1-42

1 Truly, truly, I say to you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

2 But he who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his sheep by name, and leads them out.

4 And when he brings out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

5 But they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.

6 Jesus told them this parable; but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

7 Jesus therefore said to them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them.

9 I am the door; if anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy; I came that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 But the hired hand, and he who is not a shepherd, whose sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the sheep.

13 Now the hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and has not cared for the sheep.

14 I am the good Shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knows me, so I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I also need to add these, and they will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life to take it up again.

18 No one takes it from me, but I give it from myself; I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it back. This command I received from my Father.

19 So there was division again among the Jews because of these words.

20 And many of them said, He has a devil, and is out of his mind; why do you hear it?

21 Others said, These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

22 And in Jerusalem was the feast of dedication, 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 will you keep our soul in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so openly.

25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye believe not. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify of me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep, as I told you.

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

28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and the Father are one.

31 Then the Jews again picked up stones to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?

33 The Jews answered, saying to him, We did not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy; because, being a man, you make yourself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 For if the law called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken,

36 “Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, you say, Do you blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.

38 But if I do them, and you do not believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.

39 So they sought to take him again, but he escaped out of their hands,

40 And he withdrew again beyond Jordan to the place where John had first baptized; and there he stayed.

41 And many came to him, and said, Indeed, John did no sign, but all that John said of him was true.

42 And many there believed in him.
