John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, he is a thief and a robber;
Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entreth not into the sheep-fold by the door, but climbeth up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the sheep.
But he that cometh in by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
And when he bringeth forth his sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him; because they know his voice.
5 But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
This parable Jesus spake unto them; but they did not understand what He said to them.
7 Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily I tell you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not regard them.
9 I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
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 comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.
The thief cometh only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and may have it in perfection.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
12 but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.
But the hireling, that is not the true shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf seizeth them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and am known by them.
15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; so there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
For this doth the Father love me; because I lay down my life: that I may take it again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
None 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 I have received from my Father.
19 There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
There was a division therefore again among the Jews on account of these words.
20 but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
And many of them said, He is a demoniac, and is mad; why do ye hear Him?
21 Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
Others said, These are not the words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
Now it was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
And Jesus was walking about the temple, in Solomon's portico.
24 The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
Then the Jews came round Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou be the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe me: though the works that I do in the name of my Father, testify of me.
26 but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
But ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep: for as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice,
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
and I know them, and they follow me.
29 My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
My Father who gave them to me, is greater than all: and therefore none is able to force them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one.
I and the Father are one. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone Him.
31 The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
But Jesus said unto them,
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
Many good works have I shewn you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not go about to stone thee for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because thou being a man makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Jesus replied, Is it not written in your law, "I have said, ye are gods?"
35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
And if it stiled them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be made void, )
36 do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?
do ye say 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;
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I in him.
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 They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand
Therefore they sought again to seize Him; but He escaped out of their hand, and went away again beyond Jordan,
40 and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.
to the place where John was at first baptizing, and there He abode.
41 And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this [man] were true.
And many resorted to Him, and said, John wrought no miracle, but all that he said concerning this man, was true.
42 And many believed on him there.
And many there believed on Him.
