| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3"To him the doorkeeper opens, and 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] | 4"When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8"All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10"The 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] | 11"I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of 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] | 13"He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14"I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me, |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15even 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] | 16"I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17"For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18"No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father." |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19A division occurred again among the Jews because of these words. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?" |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Others were saying, "These are not the sayings of one demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?" |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying 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, these testify of Me. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26"But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"My 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] | 30"I 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 showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your Law, 'I SAID, YOU ARE GODS '? |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35"If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified 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] | 37"If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father." |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He eluded their grasp. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Many came to Him and were saying, "While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true." |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42Many believed in Him there. |
