John 10:1-21

1 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that cometh not in by the door into the fold of sheep, but ascendeth [up] by another way, is a night thief and a day thief.

2 But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To this the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4 And when he hath done out his own sheep [And when he hath sent out his own sheep], he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice.

5 But they follow not an alien, but flee from him; for they have not known the voice of aliens.

6 Jesus said to them this proverb; but they knew not what he spake to them.

7 Therefore Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 As many as have come, were night thieves and day thieves, but the sheep heard not them. [All how many ever came before me, be night thieves and day thieves, but the sheep heard not them.]

9 I am the door. If any man shall enter by me, he shall be saved; and he shall go in, and shall go out, and he shall find pastures.

10 A night thief cometh not, but that he steal, slay, and destroy; and I came, that they have life, and have more plenteously. [A night thief cometh not, but that he steal, and slay, and lose; I came, that they have life, and have more plenteously.]

11 I am a good shepherd; a good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

12 But an hired hind, and that is not the shepherd, whose be not the sheep his own [whose the sheep be not his own], seeth a wolf coming, and he leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf snatcheth, and scattereth the sheep.

13 And the hired hind fleeth, for he is an hired hind, and it pertaineth not to him of the sheep.

14 I am a good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.

15 As the Father hath known me, I know the Father; and I put my life for my sheep.

16 [And] I have other sheep, that be not of this fold, and it behooveth me to bring them together, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be made one fold and one shepherd.

17 Therefore the Father loveth me, for I put my life, that again I take it.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I put it of myself. I have power to put it, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have taken of my Father.

19 Again dissension was made among the Jews for these words.

20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and maddeth [He hath a devil, and maddeth, or waxeth mad]; what hear ye him?

21 Other men said, These words be not of a man that hath a devil. Whether the devil may open the eyes of blind men [Whether a devil may open the eyes of blind men]?
