John 10 (WEBP)

[1] “Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
[2] But one who enters in by the door 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] Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
[5] They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
[6] Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
[7] Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
[8] All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
[9] I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
[10] The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
[11] “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
[12] He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
[13] The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
[14] I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
[15] even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
[16] I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
[17] Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
[18] No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”
[19] Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
[20] Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
[21] Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
[22] It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
[23] It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
[24] The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
[25] Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
[26] But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
[27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
[28] I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
[29] My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
[30] I and the Father are one.”
[31] Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
[32] Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
[33] The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
[34] Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it 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 can’t be broken),
[36] do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
[37] If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
[38] But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
[39] They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
[40] He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
[41] Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
[42] Many believed in him there.

[11] I am () the good shepherd : the good shepherd giveth () his life for the sheep .
[12] But he that is () an 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 .

[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 () of 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 .

Young’s Literal Translation

John 10 (YLT)

[1] ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;
[2] and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
[3] to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;
[4] and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
[5] and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.’
[6] This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;
[7] Jesus said therefore again to them, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you-I am the door of the sheep;
[8] all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
[9] I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.
[10] ‘The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
[11] ‘I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;
[12] and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;
[13] and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.
[14] ‘I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine,
[15] according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,
[16] and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock-one shepherd.
[17] ‘Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;
[18] no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.’
[19] Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
[20] and many of them said, ‘He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?’
[21] others said, ‘These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men’s eyes to open?’
[22] And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
[23] and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
[24] the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, ‘Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.’
[25] Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;
[26] but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
[27] according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,
[28] and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish-to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;
[29] my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;
[30] I and the Father are one.’
[31] Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;
[32] Jesus answered them, ‘Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?’
[33] The Jews answered him, saying, ‘For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.’
[34] Jesus answered them, ‘Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?
[35] if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)
[36] of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say-Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?
[37] if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;
[38] and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.’
[39] Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,
[40] and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,
[41] and many came unto him, and said-‘John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;’
[42] and many did believe in him there.
