^{1 Ref} `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;

^{2 Ref} and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;

^{3 Ref} to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;

^{4 Ref} and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;

^{5 Ref} and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.'

^{6 Ref} This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;

^{7 Ref} Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you -- I am the door of the sheep;

^{8 Ref} all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;

^{9 Ref} I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.

^{10 Ref} `The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have `it' abundantly.

^{11 Ref} `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;

^{12 Ref} and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;

^{13 Ref} and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.

^{14 Ref} `I am the good shepherd, and I know my `sheep', and am known by mine,

^{15 Ref} according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

^{16 Ref} and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock -- one shepherd.

^{17 Ref} `Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

^{18 Ref} no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'

^{19 Ref} Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,

^{20 Ref} and many of them said, `He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'

^{21 Ref} others said, `These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?'

²² And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,

^{23 Ref} and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,

^{24 Ref} the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, `Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.'

^{25 Ref} Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;

^{26 Ref} but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,

^{27 Ref} according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

^{28 Ref} and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

^{29 Ref} my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

^{30 Ref} I and the Father are one.'

^{31 Ref} Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;

^{32 Ref} Jesus answered them, `Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'

^{33 Ref} The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'

^{34 Ref} Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?

^{35 Ref} if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

^{36 Ref} of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

^{37 Ref} if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;

^{38 Ref} and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me `is' the Father, and I in Him.'

^{39 Ref} Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,

^{40 Ref} and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,

^{41 Ref} and many came unto him, and said -- `John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'

^{42 Ref} and many did believe in him there.

^{1 Ref} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

^{2 Ref} But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

^{3 Ref} To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

^{4 Ref} When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

^{5 Ref} And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

^{6 Ref} This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

^{7 Ref} Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

^{8 Ref} All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

^{9 Ref} I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.

^{10 Ref} The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have `it' abundantly.

^{11 Ref} I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

^{12 Ref} He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth `them':

^{13 Ref} `he fleeth' because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

^{14 Ref} I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,

^{15 Ref} even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

^{16 Ref} And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

^{17 Ref} Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

^{18 Ref} No one taketh it away 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 received I from my Father.

^{19 Ref} There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.

^{20 Ref} And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?

^{21 Ref} Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

²² And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:

^{23 Ref} it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch.

^{24 Ref} The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.

^{25 Ref} Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.

^{26 Ref} But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.

^{27 Ref} My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

^{28 Ref} and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

^{29 Ref} My Father, who hath given `them' unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch `them' out of the Father's hand.

^{30 Ref} I and the Father are one.

^{31 Ref} The Jews took up stones again to stone him.

^{32 Ref} Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

^{33 Ref} The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

^{34 Ref} Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?

^{35 Ref} If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),

^{36 Ref} say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am `the' Son of God?

^{37 Ref} If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

^{38 Ref} But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

^{39 Ref} They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.

^{40 Ref} And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there be abode.

^{41 Ref} And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.

^{42 Ref} And many believed on him there.

^{1 Ref} 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 Ref} But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

^{3 Ref} To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

^{4 Ref} And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

^{5 Ref} And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

^{6 Ref} This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

^{7 Ref} Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

^{8 Ref} All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

^{9 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

^{12 Ref} 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 Ref} The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

^{14 Ref} I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

^{15 Ref} As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

^{16 Ref} 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 Ref} Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

^{18 Ref} 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 Ref} There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

^{20 Ref} And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

^{21 Ref} 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 Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

^{23 Ref} And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

^{24 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

^{27 Ref} My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

^{28 Ref} And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

^{29 Ref} 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 Ref} I and my Father are one.

^{31 Ref} Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

^{32 Ref} Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

^{33 Ref} 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 Ref} Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

^{35 Ref} If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

^{36 Ref} 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 Ref} If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

^{38 Ref} 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 Ref} Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

^{40 Ref} And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

^{41 Ref} And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

^{42 Ref} And many believed on him there.
