John 10:15-29

¹⁵As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe:

¹⁶and 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.

¹⁷Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne.

¹⁸No 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 commaundment have I receaved of my father.

¹⁹And ther was a dissencion agayne amonge the Iewes for these sayinges

²⁰and many of them sayd. He hath the devyll and is mad: why heare ye him?

²¹Other sayde these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll open the eyes of the blynde?

²²And it was at Ierusalem the feaste of the dedicacion and it was wynter:

²³and Iesus walked in Salomons porche.

²⁴Then came the Iewes rounde aboute him and sayde vnto him: How longe dost thou make vs doute? Yf thou be Christ tell vs playnly.

²⁵Iesus answered them: I tolde you and ye beleve not. The workes that I do in my fathers name they beare witnes of me.

²⁶But ye beleve not because ye are not of my shepe. As I sayde vnto you:

²⁷my shepe heare my voyce and I knowe them and they folowe me and

²⁸I geve vnto the eternall lyfe and they shall never perisshe nether shall eny man plucke the oute of my honde.

²⁹My father which gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde.
