1“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
1Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
4And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
5But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
6Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

7Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
8All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.
9I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
9I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures.
10The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.
11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
12He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
12But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep:
13The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
13And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
14I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me.
15even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
15As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
16And other sheep I have, that 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.
17Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
17Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
18No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself, and I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

20Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
20And many of them said: He hath a devil, and is mad: why hear you him?
21Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
21Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil: Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

25Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
25Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.
26But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
26But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

28I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
28And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand.
29My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
29That which my Father hath given me, is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father.
30I and the Father are one.”
30I and the Father are one.

32Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

33The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
33The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, maketh thyself God.
34Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
34Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said you are gods?
35If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
35If he called them gods, to whom to word of God was spoken, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
36Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
38But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
