American Standard Version
John, Chapter 10

   1: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, 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 sheep.
   3: To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
   4: When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
   5: And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
   6: This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
   7: Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
   8: All that came before me are 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 go out, and shall find pasture.
   10: The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
   11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
   12: He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:
   13: [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
   14: I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
   15: even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
   16: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
   17: Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
   18: No one taketh it away 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 received I from my Father.
   19: There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
   20: And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?
   21: Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
   22: And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:
   23: it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch.
   24: The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
   25: Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.
   26: But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
   27: My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
   28: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
   29: My Father, who hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father's hand.
   30: I and the Father are one.
   31: The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
   32: Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
   33: The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
   34: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?
   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 sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am [the] Son of God?
   37: If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
   38: But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
   39: They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.
   40: And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there be abode.
   41: And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
   42: And many believed on him there.
