Christian Standard Bible

1“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

1"Truly I tell you, anyone who doesn't enter the sheep pen by the gate but climbs in some other way is a thief and a robber.

2But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

2The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

3To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

3The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

4When he has brought all his own outside, he goes ahead of them. The sheep follow him because they know his voice.

5Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

5They will never follow a stranger; instead they will run away from him, because they don't know the voice of strangers."

6Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

6Jesus gave them this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

7Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

7Jesus said again, "Truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

8All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

8All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them.

9I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

9I am the gate. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.

10The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

10A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

11"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

12The hired hand, since he is not the shepherd and doesn't own the sheep, leaves them and runs away when he sees a wolf coming. The wolf then snatches and scatters them.

13The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

13This happens because he is a hired hand and doesn't care about the sheep.

14I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.

14"I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me,

15As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

15just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

16And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

16But I have other sheep that are not from this sheep pen; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.

17“Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.

17This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take it up again.

18No one takes 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 command I have received from My Father.”

18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father."

19Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.

19Again the Jews were divided because of these words.

20And many of them said, “He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?”

20Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and he's crazy. Why do you listen to him?"

21Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

21Others were saying, "These aren't the words of someone who is demon-possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

22Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

22Then the Festival of Dedication took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

23And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.

23Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's Colonnade.

24Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

24The Jews surrounded him and asked, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."

25Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.

25"I did tell you and you don't believe," Jesus answered them. "The works that I do in my Father's name testify about me.

26But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

26But you don't believe because you are not of my sheep.

27My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

27My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me.

28And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand.

29My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

30I and My Father are one.”

30I and the Father are one."

31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

31Again the Jews picked up rocks to stone him.

32Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”

32Jesus replied, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these works are you stoning me?"

33The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”

33"We aren't stoning you for a good work," the Jews answered, "but for blasphemy, because you--being a man--make yourself God."

34Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’?

34Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, I said, you are gods?

35If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

35If he called those whom the word of God came to 'gods'--and the Scripture cannot be broken--

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’?

36do you say, 'You are blaspheming' to the one the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God?

37If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;

37If I am not doing my Father's works, don't believe me.

38but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”

38But if I am doing them and you don't believe me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father."

39Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.

39Then they were trying again to seize him, but he eluded their grasp.

40And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.

40So he departed again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing earlier, and he remained there.

41Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.”

41Many came to him and said, "John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true."

42And many believed in Him there.

42And many believed in him there.
