John - Chapter 10 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 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.
  • 2. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
  • 3. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
  • 4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
  • 5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
  • 6. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
  • 7. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
  • 8. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
  • 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. 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 {cf15I it} more abundantly.
  • 11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
  • 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.
  • 13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
  • 14. I am the good shepherd, and know my {cf15I sheep}, and am known of mine.
  • 15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
  • 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, {cf15I and} one shepherd.
  • 17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
  • 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.
  • 19. There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
  • 20. And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
  • 21. Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
  • 22. And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
  • 23. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
  • 24. Then 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.
  • 25. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
  • 26. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
  • 27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
  • 28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any {cf15I man} pluck them out of my hand.
  • 29. My Father, which gave {cf15I them} me, is greater than all; and no {cf15I man} is able to pluck {cf15I them} out of my Father's hand.
  • 30. I and {cf15I my} Father are one.
  • 31. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
  • 32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
  • 33. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
  • 34. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
  • 35. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
  • 36. Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
  • 37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
  • 38. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father {cf15I is} in me, and I in him.
  • 39. Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
  • 40. And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
  • 41. And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
  • 42. And many believed on him there.
