John10:1 - 21
10:1 -
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.
10:2 -
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3 -
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by
name, and leadeth them out.
10:4 -
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him:
for they know his voice.
10:5 -
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of
strangers.
10:6 -
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he
spake unto them.
10:7 -
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8 -
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
10:9 -
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture.
10:10 -
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.
10:11 -
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
10:12 -
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.
10:13 -
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
10:14 -
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
10:15 -
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
10:16 -
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.
10:17 -
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
10:18 -
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.
10:19 -
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
10:20 -
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
10:21
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of
the blind?
