(DB)
John
10
:
1
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, he is a thief and a robber;
(DB)
John
10
:
2
but he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
(DB)
John
10
:
3
To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
(DB)
John
10
:
4
When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
(DB)
John
10
:
5
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
(DB)
John
10
:
6
This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was of which he spoke to them.
(DB)
John
10
:
7
Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
(DB)
John
10
:
8
All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
(DB)
John
10
:
9
I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
(DB)
John
10
:
10
The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have it abundantly.
(DB)
John
10
:
11
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:
(DB)
John
10
:
12
but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.
(DB)
John
10
:
13
Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
(DB)
John
10
:
14
I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
(DB)
John
10
:
15
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
(DB)
John
10
:
16
And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
(DB)
John
10
:
17
On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
(DB)
John
10
:
18
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
(DB)
John
10
:
19
There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
(DB)
John
10
:
20
but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
(DB)
John
10
:
21
Others said, These sayings are not those of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
(DB)
John
10
:
22
Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
(DB)
John
10
:
23
And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
(DB)
John
10
:
24
The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say so to us openly.
(DB)
John
10
:
25
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
(DB)
John
10
:
26
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
(DB)
John
10
:
27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
(DB)
John
10
:
28
and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand.
(DB)
John
10
:
29
My Father who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
(DB)
John
10
:
31
The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
(DB)
John
10
:
32
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
(DB)
John
10
:
33
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
(DB)
John
10
:
34
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
(DB)
John
10
:
35
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
(DB)
John
10
:
36
do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?
(DB)
John
10
:
37
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
(DB)
John
10
:
38
but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.
(DB)
John
10
:
39
They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand
(DB)
John
10
:
40
and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.
(DB)
John
10
:
41
And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this man were true.
