John
Chapter 10
The Good Shepherd

1: ¹ ² "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.
2: But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3: The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4: ³ When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice.
5: But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers."
6: Although Jesus used this figure of speech, ⁴ they did not realize what he was trying to tell them.
7: ⁵ So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8: ⁶ All who came [before me] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9: I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture.
10: A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.
11: I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12: A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them.
13: This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.
14: I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,
15: just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep.
16: I have other sheep ⁷ that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17: This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.
18: No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. ⁸ This command I have received from my Father."
19: Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.
