| 10:1 |
'Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber;
|
| 10:2 |
but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
|
| 10:3 |
To him the gatekeeper opens;the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
|
| 10:4 |
When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
|
| 10:5 |
A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.'
|
| 10:6 |
This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
|
| 10:7 |
So Jesus again said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
|
| 10:8 |
All who came before me are thieves and robbers;but the sheep did not heed them.
|
| 10:9 |
I am the door;if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
|
| 10:10 |
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
|
| 10:11 |
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
|
| 10:12 |
He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees;and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
|
| 10:13 |
He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.
|
| 10:14 |
I am the good shepherd;I know my own and my own know me,
|
| 10:15 |
as the Father knows me and I know the Father;and I lay down my life for the sheep.
|
| 10:16 |
And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold;I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
|
| 10:17 |
For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
|
| 10:18 |
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again;this charge I have received from my Father.'
|
| 10:19 |
There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.
|
| 10:20 |
Many of them said, 'He has a demon, and he is mad;why listen to him?'
|
| 10:21 |
Others said, 'These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?'
|
| 10:22 |
It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem;
|
| 10:23 |
it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.
|
| 10:24 |
So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, 'How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.'
|
| 10:25 |
Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;
|
| 10:26 |
but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep.
|
| 10:27 |
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
|
| 10:28 |
and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
|
| 10:29 |
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
|
| 10:30 |
I and the Father are one.'
|
| 10:31 |
The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
|
| 10:32 |
Jesus answered them, 'I have shown you many good works from the Father;for which of these do you stone me?'
|
| 10:33 |
The Jews answered him, 'It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy;because you, being a man, make yourself God.'
|
| 10:34 |
Jesus answered them, 'Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods'?
|
| 10:35 |
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),
|
| 10:36 |
do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, You are blaspheming,' because I said, I am the Son of God'?
|
| 10:37 |
If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;
|
| 10:38 |
but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.'
|
| 10:39 |
Again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
|
| 10:40 |
He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there he remained.
|
| 10:41 |
And many came to him;and they said, 'John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.'
|
| 10:42 |
And many believed in him there.
