10:1  Truly truly I say to you, he who does not enter into the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
10:2  He who goes 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 has sent forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
10:5  A stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him. For they know not the voice of strangers.
10:6  This similitude Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand the things that he was saying to them.
10:7  Then Jesus spoke to them again: Truly truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8  All, even as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
10:9  I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be safe, and will go in and out, and find pasture.
10:10  The thief comes not but to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
10:11  I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
10:12  But a hired servant, who is not the shepherd, neither are the sheep his own, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
10:13  The hired servant flees because he is a hired servant, and does not care for the sheep.
10:14  I am the good shepherd, and know my own, and am known by my own.
10:15  As my Father knows me, even so do I know my Father. And I give my life for the sheep.
10:16  And other sheep I have who are not of this fold. Them also must I bring, so that they may hear my voice, and so that there may be one flock and one shepherd.
10:17  Therefore does my Father love me: because I put my life from me so that I may take it back again.
10:18  No man takes it from me, but I put it away of myself. I have power to put it from me, and have power to take it again. This commandment I have received from my Father.
10:19  And there was dissension again among the Jews because of these sayings,
10:20  and many of them said, He has a devil, and is mad. Why do you listen to him?
10:21  Others said, These are not the words of a man 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,
10:23  and it was winter. And Jesus walked in Solomon’s porch.
10:24  Then the Jews came round about him and said to him, How long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.
10:25  Jesus answered them, I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
10:26  But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
10:27  As I said to you, 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 who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to take them out of my Father’s hand.
10:30  And I and my Father are one.
10:31  Then the Jews again took up stones, to stone him.
10:32  Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father. For which of them would you stone me?
10:33  The Jews answered him, saying, We do not stone you for your good works, but for your blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God.
10:34  Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law: I say, you are gods?
10:35  If he called them gods to whom the word of God was spoken (and the scripture cannot be broken),
10:36  do you then say to 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 do the works of my Father, believe me not.
10:38  But if I do, then though you do not believe me, yet believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.
10:39  Again they went about to seize him, but he escaped out of their hands.
10:40  And he went away again beyond the Jordan, into the place where John before had baptized, and stayed there.
10:41  And many people resorted to him and said, John did no miracle, but all the things that John spoke about this man are true.
10:42  And many believed on him there.
