DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.	1 “Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.	2 But he who enters through the door 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 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
4 And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.	4 And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.	5 But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them.	6 Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.	7 Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.	8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
9 I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures.	9 I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.	10 The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.	11 I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep.
12 But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep:	12 But the hired hand, and whoever is not a shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, he sees the wolf approaching, and he departs from the sheep and flees. And the wolf ravages and scatters the sheep.
13 And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.	13 And the hired hand flees, because he is a hired hand and there is no concern for the sheep within him.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me.	14 I am the good Shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
15 As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.	15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, that 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 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.	17 For this reason, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.
18 No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself, and I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.	18 No one takes it away from me. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.”

20 And many of them said: He hath a devil, and is mad: why hear you him?	20 Then many of them were saying: “He has a demon or he is insane. Why do you listen him?”
21 Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil: Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?	21 Others were saying: “These are not the words of someone who has a demon. How would a demon be able to open the eyes of the blind?”

24 The Jews therefore came round about him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.	24 And so the Jews surrounded him and said to him: “How long will you hold our souls in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.	25 Jesus answered them: “I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about me.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.	26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27 My sheep hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me.	27 My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
28 And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand.	28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
29 That which my Father hath given me, is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father.	29 What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
30 I and the Father are one.	30 I and the Father are one.”
31 The Jews then took up stones to stone him.	31 Therefore, the Jews took up stones, in order to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?	32 Jesus answered them: “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, maketh thyself God.	33 The Jews answered him: “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy and because, though you are a man, you make yourself God.”
34 Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said you are gods?	34 Jesus responded to them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said: you are gods?’
35 If he called them gods, to whom to word of God was spoken, and the scripture cannot be broken;	35 If he called those to whom the word of God was given gods, and Scripture cannot be broken,
36 Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?	36 why do you say, about him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You have blasphemed,’ 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 do the works of my Father, do not believe in me.
38 But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.	38 But if I do them, even if you are not willing to believe in me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”
