\v 1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter through the gate into the sheep pen, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.
|
|
\v 2 He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 3 The gatekeeper opens for him. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
|
|
\v 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 5 They will not follow a stranger but instead they will avoid him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
|
|
\v 6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what these things were that he was saying to them.
|
|
|
|
\s5

\p
|
|
\v 7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate of the sheep.
|
|
\v 8 Everyone who came before me is a thief and a robber, but the sheep did not listen to them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters in through me, he will be saved; he will go in and out and will find pasture.
|
|
\v 10 The thief does not come if he would not steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they will have life and have it abundantly.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
|
|
\v 12 The hired servant is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep. He sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and escapes. And the wolf carries them off and scatters them.
|
|
\v 13 He runs away because he is a hired servant and does not care for the sheep.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.
|
|
\v 15 The Father knows me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
|
|
\v 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 17 This is why the Father loves me: I lay down my life so that I may take it again.
|
|
\v 18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father."

\v 19 A division again occurred among the Jews because of these words.
|
|
\v 20 Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"
|
|
\v 21 Others said, "These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
|

\v 22 Then it was time for the Festival of the Dedication in Jerusalem.
|
|
\v 23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
|
|
\v 24 Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, "How long will you hold us doubting? If you are the Christ, tell us openly."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 25 Jesus replied to them, "I told you, but you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.
|
|
\v 26 Yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 27 My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
|
|
\v 28 I give them eternal life; they will never die, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all others, and no one is able to snatch them out of the hand of the Father.
|
|
\v 30 I and the Father are one."
|
|
\v 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works are you stoning me?"
|
|
\v 33 The Jews answered him, "We are not stoning you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are making yourself God."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?
|
|
\v 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
|
|
\v 36 do you say to him whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
|
|
\v 38 But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe in the works so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father."
|
|
\v 39 They tried to seize him again, but he went away out of their hand.
|
|
|

\s5

|
\v 40 He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and he stayed there.
|
|
\v 41 Many people came to him and they said, "John indeed did no signs, but all the things that John has said about this man are true."
|
|
\v 42 Many people believed in him there.
