Jesus the Good Shepherd
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, *he* is a thief and a robber;
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, *he* is a thief and a robber;
Jesus the True Shepherd
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the sheep.
But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
Jesus the Good Shepherd
Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.
Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
“Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
No one takes 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 command I have received from My Father.”
There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.
but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand.
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’?
If he called *them* gods to 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),
do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?
do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I in him.
