John 10

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 "Verily, verily I say unto you, he that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, 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 doorkeeper openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, 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 Jesus spoke unto them, but they understood not what things they were which He spoke unto them.

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, "Verily, verily I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever 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 out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.

12 But he that is a hireling and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them and scattereth the sheep.

13 The hireling fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 I am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep and am known by Mine.

15 As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I 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 there shall be one fold and one Shepherd.

17 Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it 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 have I received from My Father."

19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

20 And many of them said, "He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear ye him?"

21 Others said, "These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?"

22 And it was at Jerusalem the Feast of the Dedication, and it was winter.

23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's Porch.

24 Then came the Jews round about Him and said unto Him, "How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly."

25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and ye believed not. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you.

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, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.

29 My Father, who gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.

30 I and My Father are one."

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

32 Jesus answered them, "Many good works have I shown you from My Father. For which of those works do ye stone Me?"

33 The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy and because 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 do ye say of Him whom the Father hath 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, though ye believe not Me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him."

39 Therefore they sought again to take Him, but He escaped out of their hand,

40 and went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John had first baptized; and there He abode.

41 And many resorted unto Him and said that John did no miracle, but all things that John spoke of this Man were true.

42 And many believed in Him there.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 "I can guarantee this truth: The person who doesn't enter the sheep pen through the gate but climbs in somewhere else is a thief or a robber.

2 But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd.

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

4 After he has brought out all his sheep, he walks ahead of them. The sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

5 They won't follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from a stranger because they don't recognize his voice."

6 Jesus used this illustration as he talked to the people, but they didn't understand what he meant.

7 Jesus emphasized, "I can guarantee this truth: I am the gate for the sheep.

8 All who came before I did were thieves or robbers. However, the sheep didn't respond to them.

9 I am the gate. Those who enter the sheep pen through me will be saved. They will go in and out of the sheep pen and find food.

10 A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came so that my sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need.

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

12 A hired hand isn't a shepherd and doesn't own the sheep. When he sees a wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and quickly runs away. So the wolf drags the sheep away and scatters the flock.

13 The hired hand is concerned about what he's going to get paid and not about the sheep.

14 "I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep as the Father knows me. My sheep know me as I know the Father.

15 So I give my life for my sheep.

16 I also have other sheep that are not from this pen. I must lead them. They, too, will respond to my voice. So they will be one flock with one shepherd.

17 The Father loves me because I give my life in order to take it back again.

18 No one takes my life from me. I give my life of my own free will. I have the authority to give my life, and I have the authority to take my life back again. This is what my Father ordered me to do."

19 The Jews were divided because of what Jesus said.

20 Many of them said, "He's possessed by a demon! He's crazy! Why do you listen to him?"

21 Others said, "No one talks like this if he's possessed by a demon. Can a demon give sight to the blind?"

22 The Festival of the Dedication of the Temple took place in Jerusalem during the winter.

23 Jesus was walking on Solomon's porch in the temple courtyard.

24 The Jews surrounded him. They asked him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."

25 Jesus answered them, "I've told you, but you don't believe me. The things that I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf.

26 However, you don't believe because you're not my sheep.

27 My sheep respond to my voice, and I know who they are. They follow me,

28 and I give them eternal life. They will never be lost, and no one will tear them away from me.

29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than everyone else, and no one can tear them away from my Father.

30 The Father and I are one."

31 The Jews had again brought some rocks to stone Jesus to death.

32 Jesus replied to them, "I've shown you many good things that come from the Father. For which of these good things do you want to stone me to death?"

33 The Jews answered Jesus, "We're going to stone you to death, not for any good things you've done, but for dishonoring God. You claim to be God, although you're only a man."

34 Jesus said to them, "Don't your Scriptures say, 'I said, "You are gods"'?

35 The Scriptures cannot be discredited. So if God calls people gods (and they are the people to whom he gave the Scriptures),

36 why do you say that I'm dishonoring God because I said, 'I'm the Son of God'? God set me apart for this holy purpose and has sent me into the world.

37 If I'm not doing the things my Father does, don't believe me.

38 But if I'm doing those things and you refuse to believe me, then at least believe the things that I'm doing. Then you will know and recognize that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father."

39 The Jews tried to arrest Jesus again, but he got away from them.

40 He went back across the Jordan River and stayed in the place where John first baptized people.

41 Many people went to Jesus. They said, "John didn't perform any miracles, but everything John said about this man is true."

42 Many people there believed in Jesus.
