Berean Standard Bible
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.
“Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, whoever
does
not enter
the sheepfold by
the
gate
, but climbs
in
some other way, is a thief and a robber.
But he
that
entereth
in
by the door
is the shepherd of the sheep.
But the
one
who
enters
by the gate
is the shepherd of the sheep.
To
him
the porter
openeth;
and the sheep hear
his voice :
and
he calleth
his own sheep by name ,
and leadeth
them out.
The gatekeeper
opens
the
gate
for
him,
and the sheep listen
for
his voice .
He calls
his own sheep by name and leads
them out.
And
when he putteth
forth
his own sheep
, he goeth
before
them, and the
sheep follow him :
for
they know his voice.
When he has
brought
out
all
his own, he goes
on
ahead
of
them, and his
sheep follow him because
they know his voice.
And
a
stranger
will
they not
follow, but
will flee from him :
for
they know
not the
voice of
strangers
.
But
they will
never
follow a
stranger;
in
fact
, they
will flee from him because
they do
not recognize
his
voice. ”
This
parable
spake
Jesus unto
them :
but they understood
not what things
they
were
which
he spake
unto
them.
Jesus spoke
to
them using
this
illustration,
but they did
not understand
what He was
telling
them.
Then
said Jesus
unto
them again, Verily
, verily
, I say
unto
you, I am the door
of
the sheep.
So
He
said to
them again, “Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, I am the gate
for
the sheep.
All that
ever
came before me are
thieves and robbers :
but the sheep did not hear
them.
All who
came before Me were
thieves and robbers ,
but the sheep did not listen
to
them.
I am the door:
by
me
if any
man
enter
in
, he shall
be saved ,
and
shall
go
in and out ,
and find pasture.
I am the gate.
If anyone
enters
through
Me
, he will
be saved .
He
will
come
in and go
out and find pasture.
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 it more
abundantly
.
The thief comes
only
to steal and kill and destroy .
I have
come that they may
have life, and have it in
all
its
fullness
.
I am the good shepherd :
the good shepherd giveth
his life for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd .
The good shepherd lays
down
His life for the sheep.
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
.
The
hired
hand
is not the shepherd, and
the sheep are not his
own.
When
he
sees
the wolf coming, he
abandons
the sheep and runs
away.
Then
the wolf pounces
on
them and scatters
the flock
.
The hireling
fleeth,
because he is an
hireling,
and careth
not
for the sheep.
The man
runs
away
because he is a
hired
servant
and is
unconcerned
for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd ,
and
know my sheep ,
and am
known
of
mine.
I am the good shepherd .
I
know My sheep and My
sheep
know
Me,
As the Father knoweth
me ,
even
so
know
I the Father :
and I lay down my life for the sheep.
just
as the Father knows
Me and
I know
the Father .
And I lay down My life for the sheep.
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,
and one shepherd.
I have other
sheep
that
are not of this fold .
I must bring them
in
as
well
, and they will
listen
to
My voice .
Then
there will
be one flock
and one shepherd.
Therefore
doth
my
Father love
me ,
because
I lay down my life ,
that
I
might
take it again.
The
reason
the
Father loves
Me is
that
I lay down My life in
order
to
take it up
again.
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.
No one
takes
it from Me, but I lay it down of My
own
accord
. I have authority
to lay it down and authority
to take it up
again. This charge
I have
received from
My Father. ”
There was a
division therefore
again
among the Jews for
these
sayings
.
Again
there was division among the Jews because
of
Jesus’
message
.
And
many of them said, He hath
a
devil,
and
is mad;
why hear
ye
him?
Many of them said, “
He is demon-possessed
and
insane.
Why would
you
listen
to
Him? ”
Others said
, These are not the words of him
that
hath
a devil
. Can a devil
open the eyes of the blind?
But
others replied
, “
These are not the words of a man
possessed
by
a
demon
. Can a demon
open the eyes of the blind? ”
And
it
was
at Jerusalem
the feast of the
dedication ,
and
it was winter .
At that
time
the Feast of Dedication took
place
in
Jerusalem.
It was winter ,
And Jesus walked
in the temple in Solomon's
porch
.
and Jesus was
walking
in the temple courts
in Solomon’s
Colonnade
.
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.
So
the Jews gathered
around
Him and demanded
, “
How long will
You
keep
us in
suspense
? If You
are
the Christ, tell us plainly. ”
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
.
“
I already
told you, ”
Jesus
replied,
“but
you
did
not believe.
The works I do in My Father’s
name testify
on
My
behalf
.
But ye
believe
not,
because ye
are not of
my sheep, as
I
said
unto
you.
But because you
are not My sheep, you refuse
to
believe
.
My sheep hear
my voice ,
and
I know them, and they follow me :
My sheep listen
to
My voice ;
I know them, and they follow Me .
And
I give unto
them eternal life ;
and they shall
never perish ,
neither
shall
any
man
pluck
them out of my hand.
I give them eternal life ,
and they will
never perish .
No
one
can
snatch
them out of My hand.
My Father ,
which
gave
them me ,
is greater than all ;
and
no man
is
able
to
pluck
them out of my Father's
hand.
My Father who
has
given
them to
Me is greater than all .
No one
can
snatch
them out of My Father’s
hand.
I and my
Father are one.
I and the
Father are one. ”
Then
the Jews took
up stones again
to stone him.
At
this,
the Jews again
picked
up stones to stone Him.
Jesus answered
them
, Many good works have
I
shewed
you
from my
Father ;
for which of those
works
do ye
stone me?
But
Jesus responded
, “I
have
shown
you
many good works from the
Father .
For which of these
do you
stone Me? ”
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.
“We
are
not
stoning
You
for any
good work ,”
said
the
Jews,
“
but for blasphemy ,
because You
, who
are
a man, declare
Yourself
to
be
God. ”
Jesus answered
them
, Is it not written in your law ,
I said ,
Ye
are gods?
Jesus replied
, “
Is it not written in your Law :
‘
I have
said you
are gods ’
?
If he called them gods ,
unto
whom the word of God came ,
and the scripture cannot be broken ;
If he called them gods to
whom the word of God came —
and the Scripture cannot be broken —
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?
then
what
about
the
One
whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world ?
How
then
can
you
accuse
Me
of
blasphemy
for
stating
that
I am the Son of God?
If I do
not the works of my Father, believe me not
.
If I am
not doing
the works of My Father, then
do
not
believe Me.
But if I do
, though ye
believe
not me, believe the works :
that ye
may know ,
and believe,
that the Father is in me, and I in him
.
But if I am
doing
them
, even
though you
do
not believe
Me, believe the works themselves,
so
that you
may know and understand
that the Father is in Me, and I am
in the
Father
. ”
Therefore
they sought
again to take
him :
but he escaped out
of
their hand,
At
this,
they tried
again to seize
Him ,
but He escaped their grasp.
And
went away
again
beyond
Jordan into
the place where John at
first baptized;
and there
he abode
.
Then
Jesus
went back
across
the
Jordan to
the place where John had
first been
baptizing,
and He stayed
there
.
And
many resorted
unto
him ,
and said, John
did
no
miracle:
but
all
things
that
John spake
of
this man were
true.
Many came
to
Him and said, “Although
John never
performed
a
sign,
everything
he
said
about
this man was
true. ”
And many believed on
him
there
.
And many in
that
place
believed in
Jesus
.
