10:1Verily, 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.
10:2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
10:4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
10:5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
10:6This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
10:7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
10:9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10:10The 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.
10:11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
10:12But 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.
10:13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
10:14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
10:15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
10:16And 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.
10:17Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
10:18No 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.
10:19There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
10:20And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
10:21Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
10:22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
10:23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
10:24Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
10:25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
10:26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
10:27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
10:28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
10:29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
