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.
 10:2  But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of
the sheep.
 10:3  To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice:
and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
 10:4  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before
them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
 10:5  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from
him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
 10:6  This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood
not what things they were which he spake unto them.
 10:7  Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
 10:8  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers:
but the sheep did not hear them.
 10:9  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
 10:10  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.
 10:11  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his
life for the sheep.
 10:12  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.
 10:13  The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and
careth not for the sheep.
 10:14  I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am
known of mine.
 10:15  As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father:
and I lay down my life for the sheep.
 10:16  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.
 10:17  Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I might take it again.
 10:18  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.
 10:19  There was a division therefore again among the Jews for
these sayings.
 10:20  And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why
hear ye him?
 10:21  Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a
devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
 10:22  And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication,
and it was winter.
 10:23  And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
 10:24  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.
 10:25  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.
 10:26  But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as
I said unto you.
 10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me:
 10:28  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.
 10:29  My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all;
and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.
 10:30  I and [my] Father are one.
 10:31  Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
 10:32  Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you
from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
 10:33  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.
 10:34  Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I
said, Ye are gods?
 10:35  If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came,
and the scripture cannot be broken;
 10:36  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?
 10:37  If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
 10:38  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.
 10:39  Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped
out of their hand,
 10:40  And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where
John at first baptized; and there he abode.
 10:41  And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no
miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
 10:42  And many believed on him there.
