1 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, 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 - When he hath put forth all his own, 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 - Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 - All that 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 go out, and shall find pasture.

10 - The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

11 - I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

12 - He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them:

13 - he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 - I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,

15 - even as the Father knoweth me, and I know 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 they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

17 - Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

18 - No one taketh it away 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 received I from my Father.

19 - There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.

20 - And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?

21 - Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

22 - And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:

23 - it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.

24 - The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.

25 - Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.

26 - But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.

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, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

29 - My Father, who hath given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

30 - I and the Father are one.

31 - The Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 - Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 - The Jews answered him, 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 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 them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

39 - They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.

40 - And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode.

41 - And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.

42 - And many believed on him there.
