John 10
1 “Most assuredly, I tell you, he who doesn't enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.WEB — John 10:1
2 But he who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.WEB — John 10:2
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.WEB — John 10:3
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.WEB — John 10:4
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't know the voice of strangers.”WEB — John 10:5
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand what he was telling them.WEB — John 10:6
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most assuredly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.WEB — John 10:7
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them.WEB — John 10:8
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.WEB — John 10:9
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.WEB — John 10:10
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.WEB — John 10:11
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.WEB — John 10:12
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep.WEB — John 10:13
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own;WEB — John 10:14
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.WEB — John 10:15
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.WEB — John 10:16
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.WEB — John 10:17
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.”WEB — John 10:18
19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.WEB — John 10:19
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is mad! Why do you listen to him?”WEB — John 10:20
21 Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”WEB — John 10:21
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.WEB — John 10:22
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.WEB — John 10:23
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.”WEB — John 10:24
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.WEB — John 10:25
26 But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.WEB — John 10:26
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.WEB — John 10:27
28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.WEB — John 10:28
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.WEB — John 10:29
30 I and the Father are one.”WEB — John 10:30
31 Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.WEB — John 10:31
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”WEB — John 10:32
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.”WEB — John 10:33
34 Jesus answered them, “Isn't it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods?’WEB — John 10:34
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture can't be broken),WEB — John 10:35
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?’WEB — John 10:36
37 If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.WEB — John 10:37
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.”WEB — John 10:38
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand.WEB — John 10:39
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing, and there he stayed.WEB — John 10:40
41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything whatever that John said about this man is true.”WEB — John 10:41
42 Many believed in him there.WEB — John 10:42
