Bible, King James Version
John
John.10
[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.
