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 ^asheep.

3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his ^avoice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and ^bleadeth them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they ^aknow his ^bvoice.

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of ^astrangers.

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 ^adoor of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me ^aare 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 ^asteal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have ^blife, and that they might have it more ^cabundantly.

11 I am the good ^ashepherd: the good ^bshepherd 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 ^aleaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

13 The ^ahireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 I am the good ^ashepherd, and ^bknow my ^csheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so ^aknow I the Father: and I lay down my ^blife for the sheep.

16 And ^aother ^bsheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be ^cone fold, and one shepherd.

17 Therefore doth my Father ^alove me, because I ^blay down my life, that I might ^ctake it again.

18 No man ^ataketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have ^bpower to lay it down, and I have ^cpower to take it again. This commandment have I ^dreceived 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 ^aporch.

24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to ^adoubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye ^abelieved not: the ^bworks that I do in my Father’s ^cname, they bear witness of me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My ^asheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they ^bfollow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which ^agave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are ^aone.

31 Then the Jews took up ^astones 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 ^ablasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself ^bGod.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are ^agods?

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 ^asanctified, and ^bsent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the ^cSon 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, ^abelieve the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the ^bFather is in me, and I in him.

39 Therefore they ^asought 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.
