| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1"I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger's voice." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7So Jesus said to them again, "I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8All who came before me were 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 through me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, and find pasture. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14"I 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] | 16I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, so that there will be one flock and one shepherd. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17This is why the Father loves me--because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father." |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Another sharp division took place among the Jewish people because of these words. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Many of them were saying, "He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind! Why do you listen to him?" |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Others said, "These are not the words of someone possessed by a demon. A demon cannot cause the blind to see, can it?" |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Then came the feast of the Dedication in Jerusalem. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple area in Solomon's Portico. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24The Jewish leaders surrounded him and asked, "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 replied, "I told you and you do not believe. The deeds I do in my Father's name testify about me. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26But you refuse to believe because you are not my sheep. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27My sheep listen to 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; no one will snatch them from 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 can snatch them from my Father's hand. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30The Father and I are one." |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31The Jewish leaders picked up rocks again to stone him to death. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?" |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33The Jewish leaders replied, "We are not going to stone you for a good deed but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are claiming to be God." |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Jesus answered, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'? |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35If those people to whom the word of God came were called 'gods' (and the scripture cannot be broken), |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36do you say about the one whom the Father set apart 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 do not perform the deeds of my Father, do not believe me. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may come to know and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me." |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Then they attempted again to seize him, but he escaped their clutches. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Many came to him and began to say, "John performed no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was true!" |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42And many believed in Jesus there. |
