John 10

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 "Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up at some other place--that one is a thief and a robber.

2 But the one who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 For this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 Whenever he sends out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

5 And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what it was that he was saying to them.

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

8 All those who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep do not listen to them.

9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture.

10 The thief {comes only} so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have [it] abundantly.

11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf approaching and abandons the sheep and runs away--and the wolf seizes them and scatters [them]--

13 because he is a hired hand and {he is not concerned} about the sheep.

14 "I am the good shepherd, and I know my [own], and my [own] know me,

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

16 And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock--one shepherd.

17 Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again.

18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down {voluntarily}. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father."

19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.

20 And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

21 Others were saying, "These are not the words of one who is possessed by a demon! A demon is not able to open the eyes of the blind, [is it]?"

22 Then the feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,

23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon.

24 So the Jews surrounded him and began to say to him, "{How long will you keep us in suspense}? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!"

25 Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe! The deeds that I do in the name of my Father, these testify about me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep!

27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish {forever}, and no one will seize them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who has given [them] to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize [them] from the Father's hand.

30 The Father and I are one."

31 Then the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?"

33 The Jews answered him, "We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, [although you] are a man, make yourself [to be] God!"

34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods" '?

35 If he called them 'gods' to whom the word of God came--and the scripture cannot be broken--

36 do you say about [he] whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

37 If I do not do the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.

38 But if I am doing [them], even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father [is] in me and I [am] in the Father."

39 So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.

40 And he went away again on the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.

41 And many came to him and began to say, "John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true!"

42 And many believed in him there.

New International Version NIV

1 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.

2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.

9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—

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

16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.

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

19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided.

20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”

21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

22 Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,

23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.

24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,

26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and the Father are one.”

31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,

32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’?

35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—

36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?

37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.

38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.

40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed,

41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.”

42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.
