	TYNDALE Tyndale Bible of 1526	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by ye dore into the shepefolde but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe 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	He that goeth in by ye dore is the shepeherde of ye shepe:	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 him the porter openeth and the shepe heare his voyce and he calleth his awne shepe 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 forthe his awne shepe he goeth before them and the shepe folowe him: 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 they will not folowe but will flye from him: 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 similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges 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 agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe.	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 even as many as came before me are theves and robbers: but the shepe 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 dore: by me yf eny man enter in he shalbe safe and shall goo 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	The thefe cometh not but forto steale kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe and have it more aboundantly.	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 ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe.	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 heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe.	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 heyred servaut flyeth because he is an heyred servaunt and careth not for the shepe.	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 that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe 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 my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe:	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 shepe I have which are not of this folde. Them also must I bringe that they maye heare my voyce and that ther maye be one flocke and one shepeherde.	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 love 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 awaye of my selfe. I have power to put it from me and have power to take it agayne: This comaundment have I receaved 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	And ther was a dissencion agayne amoge 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 sayd. He hath the devyll and 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 sayde these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll 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 Ierusalem ye feaste of the dedicacion 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 Salomons 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 aboute him and sayde vnto him: How longe dost thou make vs doute? Yf thou be Christ tell vs playnly.	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 answered them: I tolde you and ye beleve not. The workes yt I do in my fathers name they beare witnes 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 beleve not because ye are not of my shepe. 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 shepe 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 geve vnto the eternall lyfe and they shall never perisshe nether shall eny man plucke the oute of my honde.	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 gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde.	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	And I and my father are one.	I and the Father are one.”	I and the Father are one.”
31	Then the Iewes agayne toke up stones to stone him with all.	The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.	Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,
32	Iesus answered them: many good workes have I shewed you from my father: for which of them will 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 answered him sayinge. For thy good workes sake we stone ye not: but for thy blasphemy and because that thou beinge 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 answered them: Is it not written in youre lawe: I saye ye are goddes?	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 the goddes 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	saye ye then to him whom the father hath sainctified and sent into the worlde thou blasphemest because I sayd 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	If I do not the workes of my father beleve 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 if I do though ye beleve not me yet beleve the workes that ye maye knowe and beleve that the father is in me and I in him.	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 aboute to take him: but he escaped out of their hondes	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 awaye agayne beyonde Iordan into the place where Iohn before had baptised and there aboode.	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 him and sayd. Iohn dyd no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man are 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 beleved on him theare.	And many believed in him there.	And in that place many believed in Jesus.
