John 10
1 “Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
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;
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the sheep.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know 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 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
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.
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
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.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:
12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
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.
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
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.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
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.
19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
21 Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
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.
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
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:
26 But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
29 My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
30 I and the Father are one.”
I and the Father are one.
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
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?
37 If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
38 But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
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.
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.
41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this [man] were true.
42 Many believed in him there.
And many believed on him there.
