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 shewed 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:
