John 10:14-24

14 "¹I am the good shepherd, and ²I know My own and My own know Me,

15 even as ³the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and ⁴I lay down My life for the sheep.

16 "I have ⁵other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become ⁶one flock with ⁷one shepherd.

17 "For this reason the Father loves Me, because I ⁸lay down My life so that I may take it again.

18 "⁹No one has taken it away from Me, but I ¹⁰lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. ¹¹This commandment I received from My Father."

19 ¹²A division occurred again among the Jews because of these words.

20 Many of them were saying, "He ¹³has a demon and ¹⁴is insane. Why do you listen to Him?"

21 Others were saying, "These are not the sayings of one ¹⁵demon-possessed. ¹⁶A demon cannot * open the eyes of the blind, can he?"

Jesus Asserts His Deity

22 At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem;

23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of ¹⁷Solomon.

24 ¹⁸The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long * will You keep us in suspense *? If You are the Christ, tell us ¹⁹plainly."
