John 10:3-31

³To this the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

⁴And when he hath done out or hath sent out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep pursue him; for they know his voice.

⁵But they pursue not an alien, but flee from him; for they have not known the voice of aliens.

⁶Jesus said to them this proverb; but they knew not what he spake to them.

⁷Therefore Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

⁸As many as have come, were night thieves and day thieves, but the sheep heard not them.

⁹I am the door. If any man shall enter by me, he shall be saved; and he shall go in, and shall go out, and he shall find pastures.

¹⁰A night thief cometh not, but that he steal, slay, and lose; and I came, that they have life, and have more plenteously.

¹¹I am a good shepherd; a good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

¹²But an hired hind, and that is not the shepherd, whose be not the sheep his own or whose the sheep be not his own, seeth a wolf coming, and he leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf ravisheth, and disperseth, or scattereth, the sheep.

¹³And the hired hind fleeth, for he is an hired hind, and it pertaineth not to him of the sheep.

¹⁴I am a good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.

¹⁵As the Father hath known me, I know the Father; and I put my life for my sheep.

¹⁶I have other sheep, that be not of this fold, and it behooveth me to bring them together, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be made one fold and one shepherd.

¹⁷Therefore the Father loveth me, for I put my life, that again I take it.

¹⁸No man taketh it from me, but I put it of myself. I have power to put it, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have taken of my Father.

¹⁹Again dissension was made among the Jews for these words.

²⁰And many of them said, He hath a devil, and maddeth, or waxeth mad; what hear ye him?

²¹Other men said, These words be not of a man that hath a devil. Whether the devil or a devil may open the eyes of blind men?

²²But the feasts of hallowing of the temple were made in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

²³And Jesus walked in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.

²⁴Therefore the Jews came about him, and said to him, How long takest thou away our soul? if thou art Christ, say thou to us openly or plainly.

²⁵Jesus answered to them, I speak to you, and ye believe not; the works that I do in the name of my Father, bear witnessing of me.

²⁶But ye believe not, for ye be not of my sheep.

²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they pursue me.

²⁸And I give to them everlasting life, and they shall not perish without end, and none shall ravish them out of mine hand.

²⁹That thing that my Father gave to me, is more than all things; and no man may ravish from my Father’s hand.

³⁰I and the Father be one.

³¹The Jews took up stones, to stone him.
