John Chapter 10 (KJV)
undefined
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.
undefined
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
undefined
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
undefined
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
undefined
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
undefined
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
undefined
Then said Jesus unto them again,Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
undefined
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
undefined
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
undefined
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.
undefined
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
undefined
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.
undefined
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
undefined
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
undefined
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
undefined
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.
undefined
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
undefined
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.
undefined
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
undefined
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
undefined
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
undefined
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
undefined
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
undefined
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.
undefined
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.
undefined
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
undefined
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
undefined
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
undefined
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
undefined
I and my Father are one.
undefined
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
undefined
Jesus answered them,Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
undefined
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.
undefined
Jesus answered them,Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
undefined
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
undefined
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?
undefined
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
undefined
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.
undefined
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
undefined
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
undefined
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
undefined
And many believed on him there.
