John 10


font
KING JAMES BIBLENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.1 "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.2 But whoever enters through the gate 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.3 The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.4 When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.5 But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers."
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.6 Although Jesus used this figure of speech, they did not realize what he was trying to tell them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.7 So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.8 All who came [before me] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
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.9 I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh 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 A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.11 I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.12 A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.13 This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.14 I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will 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 there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.16 I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.17 This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.
18 No man taketh 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.18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father."
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?20 Many of them said, "He is possessed and out of his mind; why listen to him?"
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?21 Others said, "These are not the words of one possessed; surely a demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?"
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.22 The feast of the Dedication was then taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.23 And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.25 Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify to me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.26 But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:27 My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.
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.29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.30 The Father and I are one."
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.31 The Jews again picked up rocks to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?"
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.33 The Jews answered him, "We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God."
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;35 If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside,
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?36 can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.37 If I do not perform my Father's works, do not believe me;
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.38 but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize (and understand) that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,39 (Then) they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power.
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.40 He went back across the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.41 Many came to him and said, "John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true."
42 And many believed on him there.42 And many there began to believe in him.
