Chapter |
|
|
|
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. |
