| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?” |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30I and the Father are one.” |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.” |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42And many believed in him there. |
