1Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter into the sheepfold by the door, but going up by another way, that one is a thief and a robber. 2But he who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3The doorkeeper opens to him, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls [his] own sheep by name and leads them out. 4And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him. For they know his voice. 5And they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers. 6Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what it was which He spoke to them. 7Then Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door. If anyone enters in by Me, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture. 10The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. 11I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12But he who is a hireling and not the shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away. And the wolf catches them and scatters the sheep. 13The hireling flees, because he is a hireling and does not care for the sheep. 14I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that [are] Mine, and I am known by those who are Mine. 15Even as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16And I have other sheep who are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one Shepherd. 17Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I might take it again. 18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment from My Father. 19Then a division occurred again among the Jews because of these words. 20And many of them said, He has a demon and is insane. Why do you hear him? 21Others said, These are not words of one who has been possessed by a demon. A demon is not able to open [the] eyes of blind ones. 22And [the Feast] of Dedication took place at Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's Porch. 24Then the Jews encircled Him and said to Him, How long do you make us doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. 25Jesus answered them, I told you and you did not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. 26But you did not believe because you are not of My sheep. As I said to you, 27My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28And I give to them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish, and not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand. 29My Father who gave [them] to me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck [them] out of My Father's hand. 30I and the Father are one! 31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from My Father; for which of these do you stone Me? 33The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God. 34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods? 35If He called those gods with whom the Word of God was, and the Scripture cannot be broken, 36do you say [of Him] whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? 37If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me. 38But if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works so that you may know and believe that the Father [is] in Me, and I in Him. 39Then they again sought to seize Him, but He went forth out of their hand. 40And He went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John baptized at the first, and He stayed there. 41And many came to Him and said, John indeed did no miracle, but all things that John said concerning this One were true. 42And many believed on Him there.
