rsv@John:10:1 @ "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber;
rsv@John:10:2 @ but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
rsv@John:10:3 @ To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
rsv@John:10:4 @ When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
rsv@John:10:5 @ A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
rsv@John:10:6 @ This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
rsv@John:10:7 @ So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
rsv@John:10:8 @ All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them.
rsv@John:10:9 @ I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
rsv@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
rsv@John:10:11 @ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
rsv@John:10:12 @ He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
rsv@John:10:13 @ He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.
rsv@John:10:14 @ I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me,
rsv@John:10:15 @ as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
rsv@John:10:16 @ And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
rsv@John:10:17 @ For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
rsv@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father."
rsv@John:10:19 @ There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.
rsv@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, "He has a demon, and he is mad; why listen to him?"
rsv@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
rsv@John:10:23 @ it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.
rsv@John:10:24 @ So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
rsv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;
rsv@John:10:26 @ but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep.
rsv@John:10:27 @ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
rsv@John:10:28 @ and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
rsv@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
rsv@John:10:32 @ Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?"
rsv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God."
rsv@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, `I said, you are gods'?
rsv@John:10:35 @ If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),
rsv@John:10:36 @ do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'?
rsv@John:10:37 @ If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;
rsv@John:10:38 @ 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 am in the Father."
rsv@John:10:39 @ Again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
rsv@John:10:40 @ He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there he remained.
rsv@John:10:41 @ And many came to him; and they said, "John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true."
