10:1  Truly, truly, I say to you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
10:2  But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
10:4  And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes 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 spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.
10:7  Then said Jesus to them again, Truly, truly, I say to 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 comes 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 gives his life for the sheep.
10:12  But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
10:13  The hireling flees, because he is an hireling, and cares 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 knows 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 does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
10:18  No man takes 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 has a devil, and is mad; why hear you him?
10:21  Others said, These are not the words of him that has 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 to him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
10:25  Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
10:26  But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said to you.
10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
10:28  And I give to 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 showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
10:33  The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.
10:34  Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?
10:35  If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
10:36  Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; 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 you believe not me, believe the works: that you 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 stayed.
10:41  And many resorted to him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
10:42  And many believed on him there.
