John 10:14-24

14 ¹I am the good shepherd. ²I know my own and ³my own know me,

15 ⁴just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and ⁵I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 And ⁶I have other sheep that are not of this fold. ⁷I must bring them also, and ⁸they will listen to my voice. So there will be ⁹one flock, ¹⁰one shepherd.

17 ¹¹For this reason the Father loves me, ¹²because ¹³I lay down my life that I may take it up again.

18 ¹⁴No one takes it from me, but ¹⁵I lay it down ¹⁶of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and ¹⁷I have authority to take it up again. ¹⁸This charge I have received from my Father. ”

19 ¹⁹There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.

20 Many of them said, ²⁰“He has a demon, and ²¹is insane; why listen to him? ”

21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. ²²Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? ”

I and the Father Are One

22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter,

23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, ²³in the colonnade of Solomon.

24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are ²⁴the Christ, ²⁵tell us plainly. ”
