- "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.
- "But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.
- "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
- "When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
- "A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
|
- Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
- But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
- To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
- And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
- And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

- This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.
- So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
- "All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
- "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
- "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
|
- This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
- Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
- All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
- I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
- The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

- "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
- "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.
- "He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.
- "I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,
- even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
|
- I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
- But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
- The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
- I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
- As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
|
- "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.
- "For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.
- "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."
- A division occurred again among the Jews because of these words.
- Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?"
|
- And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
- Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
- No man taketh 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 commandment have I received of my Father.
- There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
- And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
|
- Others were saying, "These are not the sayings of one demon-possessed A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?"
|
- Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
