1 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 But he that en­tereth in by the door is the shep­herd of the sheep. 3 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 put­teth forth his own sheep, he goeth be­fore them, and the sheep fol­low him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not fol­low, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This para­ble spake Je­sus unto them: but they un­der­stood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Je­sus unto them again, Ver­i­ly, ver­i­ly, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came be­fore me are thieves and rob­bers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 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 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 the good shep­herd: the good shep­herd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 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 hireling fleeth, be­cause he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shep­herd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Fa­ther knoweth me, even so know I the Fa­ther: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 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 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 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 There was a di­vi­sion there­fore again among the Jews for these say­ings. 20 And many of them said, He hath a dev­il, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21 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 And Je­sus walked in the tem­ple in Solomon's porch. 24 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 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 be­lieve not, be­cause ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they fol­low me: 28 And I give unto them eter­nal life; and they shall nev­er per­ish, nei­ther shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 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 I and my Fa­ther are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Je­sus an­swered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Fa­ther; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 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 Je­sus an­swered them, Is it not writ­ten in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scrip­ture can­not be bro­ken; 36 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 works of my Fa­ther, be­lieve me not. 38 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 There­fore they sought again to take him: but he es­caped out of their hand, 40 And went away again be­yond Jor­dan into the place where John at first bap­tized; and there he abode. 41 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 be­lieved on him there.
