John

Chapter 10

1 TRULY, truly, I say to you, He who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from another place, is a thief and a bandit.

2 But he who enters by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the door-keeper opens the door; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and brings them out.

4 And when he has brought out his sheep, he goes before them; and his own sheep * follow him, because they know his voice.

5 The sheep do not follow a stranger, but they run away from him; because they do not know the voice of a stranger.

6 Jesus spoke this parable to them; but they did not understand what he was telling them.

7 Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All who have come are thieves and bandits, if the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door; if any man enter by me, he shall live, and he shall come in and go out and find pasture.

10 A thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd; a good shepherd risks his life for the sake of his sheep.

12 But the hired person, who is not the shepherd, and who is not the owner of the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf comes and seizes and scatters the sheep.

13 The hired person runs away, because he is hired, and he does not care for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.

15 Just as my Father knows me, I also know my Father; and I lay down my life for the sake of the sheep.

16 I have other sheep also, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; and all the sheep will become one flock and one shepherd.

17 This is why my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.

18 No man takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own will. Therefore I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.

19 There was again a division among the Jews because of these sayings.

20 And many of them said, He is insane and rambles; why do you listen to him?

21 Others said, These are not the words of a crazy man. Why, can a crazy man open the eyes of the blind?

22 Then came the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.

23 And Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch.

24 Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, How long do you vex our soul with uncertainty? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.

25 Jesus answered and said to them, I have told you, but you do not believe; yet the works which I do, in the name of my Father, testify of me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, just as I told you.

27 My own sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;

28 And I give to them eternal life; and they will never perish, and no man will snatch them from my hands.

29 For my Father who gave them to me is greater than all; and no man can snatch anything from my Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one in accord.

31 Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him.

32 Jesus said to them, I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which one of them do you stone me?

33 The Jews said to him, It is not because of the good works we stone you, but because you blaspheme; for while you are only a man, you make yourself God.

34 Jesus said to them, Is it not so written in your law, I said, you are gods?

35 If he called them gods, because the word of God was with them, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Yet to the one whom the Father sanctified and sent to the world, you say, You blaspheme, just because I said to you, I am the Son of God.

37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.

38 But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe in me, believe in the works; so that you may know and believe that my Father is with me and I am with my Father.

39 And they wanted again to seize him; but he escaped from their hands.

40 And he went away to the Jordan crossing, to the place where John was, where he first baptized; and he remained there.

41 And many men came to him and said, John did not perform a single miracle; but everything which John said concerning this man is true.

42 And many believed in him.

John

Chapter 10

1 Truly,281 truly,281 I say3004 to you, He that enters1535 not by the door2374 into1519 the sheepfold,833 4263 but climbs305 up some other237 way, the same1565 is a thief2812 and a robber.3027

2 But he that enters1535 in by the door2374 is the shepherd4166 of the sheep.4263

3 To him the porter2377 opens;455 and the sheep4263 hear191 his voice:5456 and he calls2564 his own2398 sheep4263 by name,3686 and leads1806 them out.

4 And when3752 he puts1544 forth1544 his own2398 sheep,4263 he goes4198 before1715 them, and the sheep4263 follow190 him: for they know1492 his voice.5456

5 And a stranger245 will they not follow,190 but will flee5343 from him: for they know1492 not the voice5456 of strangers.245

6 This parable3942 spoke2036 Jesus2424 to them: but they understood1097 not what5101 things they were which3739 he spoke2980 to them.

7 Then3767 said2036 Jesus2424 to them again,3825 Truly,281 truly,281 I say3004 to you, I am1510 the door2374 of the sheep.4263

8 All3956 that ever3745 came2064 before4253 me are thieves2812 and robbers:3027 but the sheep4263 did not hear191 them.

9 I am1510 the door:2374 by me if1437 any5100 man enter1525 in, he shall be saved,4982 and shall go1525 in and out, and find2147 pasture.3542

10 The thief2812 comes not, but for to steal,2813 and to kill,2380 and to destroy:622 I am come2064 that they might have2192 life,2222 and that they might have2192 it more abundantly.4053

11 I am1510 the good2570 shepherd:4166 the good2570 shepherd4166 gives5087 his life5590 for the sheep.4263

12 But he that is an hireling,3411 and not the shepherd,4166 whose3739 own2398 the sheep4263 are not, sees2334 the wolf3074 coming,2064 and leaves863 the sheep,4263 and flees:5343 and the wolf3074 catches726 them, and scatters4650 the sheep.4263

13 The hireling3411 flees,5343 because3754 he is an hireling,3411 and cares3199 not for the sheep.4263

14 I am1510 the good2570 shepherd,4166 and know1097 my sheep, and am known1097 of mine.1699

15 As the Father3962 knows1097 me, even2504 so know1097 I the Father:3962 and I lay5087 down my life5590 for the sheep.4263

16 And other243 sheep4263 I have,2192 which3739 are not of this5026 fold:833 them also2548 I must1163 bring,71 and they shall hear191 my voice;5456 and there shall be one3391 fold,4167 and one1520 shepherd.4166

17 Therefore1223 5124 does my Father3962 love25 me, because3754 I lay5087 down my life,5590 that I might take2983 it again.3825

18 No3762 man3762 takes142 it from me, but I lay5087 it down of myself.1683 I have2192 power1849 to lay5087 it down, and I have2192 power1849 to take2983 it again.3825 This5026 commandment1785 have2192 I received2983 of my Father.3962

19 There was a division4978 therefore3767 again3825 among1722 the Jews2453 for these5128 sayings.3056

20 And many4183 of them said,3004 He has2192 a devil,1140 and is mad;3105 why5101 hear191 you him?

21 Others243 said,3004 These5023 are not the words4487 of him that has a devil.1139 Can1410 a devil1140 open455 the eyes3788 of the blind?5185

22 And it was at1722 Jerusalem2414 the feast1456 of the dedication,1456 and it was winter.5494

23 And Jesus2424 walked4043 in the temple2411 in Solomon's4672 porch.4745

24 Then3767 came2944 the Jews2453 round2944 about2944 him, and said3004 to him, How2193 long2193 do you make142 us to doubt?142 If1487 you be the Christ,5547 tell2036 us plainly.3954

25 Jesus2424 answered611 them, I told2036 you, and you believed4100 not: the works2041 that I do4160 in my Father's3962 name,3686 they bear3140 witness3140 of me.

26 But you believe4100 not, because1063 you are not of my sheep,4263 as I said2036 to you.

27 My sheep4263 hear191 my voice,5456 and I know1097 them, and they follow190 me:

28 And I give1325 to them eternal166 life;2222 and they shall never3364 1519 3588 165 perish,622 neither2532 3756 shall any5100 man pluck726 them out of my hand.5495

29 My Father,3962 which3739 gave1325 them me, is greater3187 than all;3956 and no3762 man3762 is able1410 to pluck726 them out of my Father's3962 hand.5495

30 I and my Father3962 are one.1520

31 Then3767 the Jews2453 took941 up stones3037 again3825 to stone3034 him.

32 Jesus2424 answered611 them, Many4183 good2570 works2041 have I showed1166 you from my Father;3962 for which4169 of those846 works2041 do you stone3034 me?

33 The Jews2453 answered611 him, saying,3004 For a good2570 work2041 we stone3034 you not; but for blasphemy;988 and because3754 that you, being5607 a man,444 make4160 yourself4572 God.2316

34 Jesus2424 answered611 them, Is it not written1125 in your5216 law,3551 I said,2036 You are gods?2316

35 If1487 he called2036 them gods,2316 to whom3739 the word3056 of God2316 came,1096 and the scripture1124 cannot3756 1410 be broken;3089

36 Say3004 you of him, whom3739 the Father3962 has sanctified,37 and sent649 into1519 the world,2889 You blaspheme;987 because3754 I said,2036 I am the Son5207 of God?2316

37 If1487 I do4160 not the works2041 of my Father,3962 believe4100 me not.

38 But if1487 I do,4160 though2579 you believe4100 not me, believe4100 the works:2041 that you may know,1097 and believe,4100 that the Father3962 is in me, and I in him.

39 Therefore3767 they sought2212 again3825 to take4084 him: but he escaped1831 out of their hand,5495

40 And went565 away565 again3825 beyond4008 Jordan2446 into1519 the place5117 where3699 John2491 at first4412 baptized;907 and there1563 he stayed.3306

41 And many4183 resorted2064 to him, and said,3004 John2491 did4160 no3762 miracle:4592 but all3956 things that John2491 spoke2036 of this5127 man were true.227

42 And many4183 believed4100 on1519 him there.1563

Chapter 10

John

Chapter 10

1 TRULY, truly, I say to you, He who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from another place, is a thief and a bandit.

1 Truly,281 truly,281 I say3004 to you, He that enters1535 not by the door2374 into1519 the sheepfold,833 4263 but climbs305 up some other237 way, the same1565 is a thief2812 and a robber.3027

2 But he who enters by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.

2 But he that enters1535 in by the door2374 is the shepherd4166 of the sheep.4263

3 To him the door-keeper opens the door; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and brings them out.

3 To him the porter2377 opens;455 and the sheep4263 hear191 his voice:5456 and he calls2564 his own2398 sheep4263 by name,3686 and leads1806 them out.

4 And when he has brought out his sheep, he goes before them; and his own sheep * follow him, because they know his voice.

4 And when3752 he puts1544 forth1544 his own2398 sheep,4263 he goes4198 before1715 them, and the sheep4263 follow190 him: for they know1492 his voice.5456

5 The sheep do not follow a stranger, but they run away from him; because they do not know the voice of a stranger.

5 And a stranger245 will they not follow,190 but will flee5343 from him: for they know1492 not the voice5456 of strangers.245

6 Jesus spoke this parable to them; but they did not understand what he was telling them.

6 This parable3942 spoke2036 Jesus2424 to them: but they understood1097 not what5101 things they were which3739 he spoke2980 to them.

7 Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

7 Then3767 said2036 Jesus2424 to them again,3825 Truly,281 truly,281 I say3004 to you, I am1510 the door2374 of the sheep.4263

8 All who have come are thieves and bandits, if the sheep did not hear them.

8 All3956 that ever3745 came2064 before4253 me are thieves2812 and robbers:3027 but the sheep4263 did not hear191 them.

9 I am the door; if any man enter by me, he shall live, and he shall come in and go out and find pasture.

9 I am1510 the door:2374 by me if1437 any5100 man enter1525 in, he shall be saved,4982 and shall go1525 in and out, and find2147 pasture.3542

10 A thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it abundantly.

10 The thief2812 comes not, but for to steal,2813 and to kill,2380 and to destroy:622 I am come2064 that they might have2192 life,2222 and that they might have2192 it more abundantly.4053

11 I am the good shepherd; a good shepherd risks his life for the sake of his sheep.

11 I am1510 the good2570 shepherd:4166 the good2570 shepherd4166 gives5087 his life5590 for the sheep.4263

12 But the hired person, who is not the shepherd, and who is not the owner of the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf comes and seizes and scatters the sheep.

12 But he that is an hireling,3411 and not the shepherd,4166 whose3739 own2398 the sheep4263 are not, sees2334 the wolf3074 coming,2064 and leaves863 the sheep,4263 and flees:5343 and the wolf3074 catches726 them, and scatters4650 the sheep.4263

13 The hired person runs away, because he is hired, and he does not care for the sheep.

13 The hireling3411 flees,5343 because3754 he is an hireling,3411 and cares3199 not for the sheep.4263

14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.

14 I am1510 the good2570 shepherd,4166 and know1097 my sheep, and am known1097 of mine.1699

15 Just as my Father knows me, I also know my Father; and I lay down my life for the sake of the sheep.

15 As the Father3962 knows1097 me, even2504 so know1097 I the Father:3962 and I lay5087 down my life5590 for the sheep.4263

16 I have other sheep also, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; and all the sheep will become one flock and one shepherd.

16 And other243 sheep4263 I have,2192 which3739 are not of this5026 fold:833 them also2548 I must1163 bring,71 and they shall hear191 my voice;5456 and there shall be one3391 fold,4167 and one1520 shepherd.4166

17 This is why my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.

17 Therefore1223 5124 does my Father3962 love25 me, because3754 I lay5087 down my life,5590 that I might take2983 it again.3825

18 No man takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own will. Therefore I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.

18 No3762 man3762 takes142 it from me, but I lay5087 it down of myself.1683 I have2192 power1849 to lay5087 it down, and I have2192 power1849 to take2983 it again.3825 This5026 commandment1785 have2192 I received2983 of my Father.3962

19 There was again a division among the Jews because of these sayings.

19 There was a division4978 therefore3767 again3825 among1722 the Jews2453 for these5128 sayings.3056

20 And many of them said, He is insane and rambles; why do you listen to him?

20 And many4183 of them said,3004 He has2192 a devil,1140 and is mad;3105 why5101 hear191 you him?

21 Others said, These are not the words of a crazy man. Why, can a crazy man open the eyes of the blind?

21 Others243 said,3004 These5023 are not the words4487 of him that has a devil.1139 Can1410 a devil1140 open455 the eyes3788 of the blind?5185

22 Then came the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.

22 And it was at1722 Jerusalem2414 the feast1456 of the dedication,1456 and it was winter.5494

23 And Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch.

23 And Jesus2424 walked4043 in the temple2411 in Solomon's4672 porch.4745

24 Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, How long do you vex our soul with uncertainty? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.

24 Then3767 came2944 the Jews2453 round2944 about2944 him, and said3004 to him, How2193 long2193 do you make142 us to doubt?142 If1487 you be the Christ,5547 tell2036 us plainly.3954

25 Jesus answered and said to them, I have told you, but you do not believe; yet the works which I do, in the name of my Father, testify of me.

25 Jesus2424 answered611 them, I told2036 you, and you believed4100 not: the works2041 that I do4160 in my Father's3962 name,3686 they bear3140 witness3140 of me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, just as I told you.

26 But you believe4100 not, because1063 you are not of my sheep,4263 as I said2036 to you.

27 My own sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;

27 My sheep4263 hear191 my voice,5456 and I know1097 them, and they follow190 me:

28 And I give to them eternal life; and they will never perish, and no man will snatch them from my hands.

28 And I give1325 to them eternal166 life;2222 and they shall never3364 1519 3588 165 perish,622 neither2532 3756 shall any5100 man pluck726 them out of my hand.5495

29 For my Father who gave them to me is greater than all; and no man can snatch anything from my Father's hand.

29 My Father,3962 which3739 gave1325 them me, is greater3187 than all;3956 and no3762 man3762 is able1410 to pluck726 them out of my Father's3962 hand.5495

30 I and my Father are one in accord.

30 I and my Father3962 are one.1520

31 Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him.

31 Then3767 the Jews2453 took941 up stones3037 again3825 to stone3034 him.

32 Jesus said to them, I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which one of them do you stone me?

32 Jesus2424 answered611 them, Many4183 good2570 works2041 have I showed1166 you from my Father;3962 for which4169 of those846 works2041 do you stone3034 me?

33 The Jews said to him, It is not because of the good works we stone you, but because you blaspheme; for while you are only a man, you make yourself God.

33 The Jews2453 answered611 him, saying,3004 For a good2570 work2041 we stone3034 you not; but for blasphemy;988 and because3754 that you, being5607 a man,444 make4160 yourself4572 God.2316

34 Jesus said to them, Is it not so written in your law, I said, you are gods?

34 Jesus2424 answered611 them, Is it not written1125 in your5216 law,3551 I said,2036 You are gods?2316

35 If he called them gods, because the word of God was with them, and the scripture cannot be broken;

35 If1487 he called2036 them gods,2316 to whom3739 the word3056 of God2316 came,1096 and the scripture1124 cannot3756 1410 be broken;3089

36 Yet to the one whom the Father sanctified and sent to the world, you say, You blaspheme, just because I said to you, I am the Son of God.

36 Say3004 you of him, whom3739 the Father3962 has sanctified,37 and sent649 into1519 the world,2889 You blaspheme;987 because3754 I said,2036 I am the Son5207 of God?2316

37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.

37 If1487 I do4160 not the works2041 of my Father,3962 believe4100 me not.

38 But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe in me, believe in the works; so that you may know and believe that my Father is with me and I am with my Father.

38 But if1487 I do,4160 though2579 you believe4100 not me, believe4100 the works:2041 that you may know,1097 and believe,4100 that the Father3962 is in me, and I in him.

39 And they wanted again to seize him; but he escaped from their hands.

39 Therefore3767 they sought2212 again3825 to take4084 him: but he escaped1831 out of their hand,5495

40 And he went away to the Jordan crossing, to the place where John was, where he first baptized; and he remained there.

40 And went565 away565 again3825 beyond4008 Jordan2446 into1519 the place5117 where3699 John2491 at first4412 baptized;907 and there1563 he stayed.3306

41 And many men came to him and said, John did not perform a single miracle; but everything which John said concerning this man is true.

41 And many4183 resorted2064 to him, and said,3004 John2491 did4160 no3762 miracle:4592 but all3956 things that John2491 spoke2036 of this5127 man were true.227

42 And many believed in him.

42 And many4183 believed4100 on1519 him there.1563
