	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Veryly, veryly, I say vnto you: He that entreth not in by ye doore into the sheepfolde, but clymeth vp some other way, the same is a thiefe, and a robber.	“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.	“Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2	But he that entreth in by the doore, is the sheephearde of the sheepe.	But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.	The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3	To hym the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.	To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.	The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4	And when he hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe folowe hym: for they knowe his voyce.	When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.	When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5	A straunger wyll they not folowe, but wyll flee from hym: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers.	A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”	But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
6	This prouerbe spake Iesus vnto them: But they vnderstoode not what thynges they were, which he spake vnto them.	This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.	Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
7	Then sayde Iesus vnto them againe. Ueryly, veryly, I say vnto you: I am the doore of the sheepe.	So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.	Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8	All, euen as many as came before me, are thieues and robbers: but the sheepe dyd not heare them.	All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.	All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
9	I am the doore: by me yf any man enter in, he shalbe safe, and shall go in and out, and fynde pasture.	I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.	I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
10	A thiefe commeth not, but for to steale, kyll, & to destroy: I am come, that they myght haue lyfe, and that they myght haue it more aboundauntly.	The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.	The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
11	I am the good sheephearde. A good sheephearde, geueth his lyfe for the sheepe.	I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.	“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12	An hyrelyng, and he which is not the sheephearde, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe commyng, and leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth, & scattereth the sheepe.	He 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.	The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
13	The hyrelyng fleeth, because he is an hyrelyng, and careth not for the sheepe.	He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.	The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14	I am the good sheepheard, & knowe my sheepe, and am knowen of myne.	I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,	“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—
15	As the father knoweth me, euen so, knowe I also the father: And I geue my lyfe for the sheepe.	just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.	just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16	And other sheepe I haue, which are not of this folde: them also must I bryng, & they shall heare my voyce, and there shalbe one folde, and one sheepehearde.	And 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.	I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
17	Therfore doth my father loue me, because I put my lyfe from me, that I myght take it agayne.	For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again.	The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
18	No man taketh it from me: but I put it away of my selfe. I haue power to put it from me, and I haue power to take it agayne. This commaundement haue I receaued of my father.	No 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.”	No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
19	There was a discention therefore agayne among the Iewes, for these sayinges.	There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.	The Jews who heard these words were again divided.
20	And many of them sayde: He hath the deuyll, & is mad, why heare ye him?	Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?”	Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”
21	Other sayd: These are not ye wordes of hym that hath the deuyll. Can the deuyll open the eyes of the blynde?	Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”	But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22	And it was at Hierusalem, the feast of the dedication, and it was wynter.	At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter,	Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,
23	And Iesus walked in the temple, euen in Solomons porche.	and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon.	and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.
24	Then came the Iewes rounde about hym, and sayde vnto hym: Howe long doest thou make vs doubt? Yf thou be Christe, tell vs playnely.	So 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.”	The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
25	Iesus aunswered them: I tolde you, and ye beleue not. The workes that I do in my fathers name, they beare witnesse of me.	Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me,	Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,
26	But ye beleue not, because ye are not of my sheepe, as I sayde vnto you.	but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep.	but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
27	My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they folowe me:	My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.	My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28	And I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shal neuer perishe, neither shal any man plucke them out of my hande.	I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.	I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29	My father which gaue them me, is greater then all: and no man is able to take them out of my fathers hande.	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.	My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30	I and my father are one.	I and the Father are one.”	I and the Father are one.”
31	Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones, to stone hym withall.	The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.	Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,
32	Iesus aunswered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my father: for which of the do ye stone me?	Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?”	but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
33	The Iewes aunswered hym, saying: For thy good workes sake we stone thee not, but for thy blasphemie, and because that thou beyng a man, makest thy selfe God.	The 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.”	“We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
34	Iesus aunswered them: Is it not written in your lawe, I sayde, ye are Gods?	Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?	Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods\|’?
35	If he called them Gods, vnto whom the worde of God was spoken, and the scripture can not be broken:	If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken—	If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—
36	Say ye of hym whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the worlde, thou blasphemest, because I saide I am the sonne of God?	do 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’?	what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
37	Yf I do not the workes of my father, beleue me not:	If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;	Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.
38	But yf I do, and yf ye beleue not me, beleue the workes: that ye may knowe and beleue, that the father is in me, and I in hym.	but 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.”	But 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 in the Father.”
39	Agayne they went about to take hym: and he escaped out of their hande,	Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.	Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
40	And went away againe beyonde Iordane, into the place where Iohn before had baptized, and there he abode.	He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.	Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed,
41	And many resorted vnto hym, and sayde: Iohn dyd no miracle, but all thynges that Iohn spake of this man were true.	And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.”	and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.”
42	And many beleued on hym there.	And many believed in him there.	And in that place many believed in Jesus.
