1	"Most positively, I say to you*, the one not entering through the door into the fold of the sheep,_but_ climbing up some other way, that one is a thief and a robber.

2	"But the one entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep.

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

4	"And whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

5	"But a stranger they will by no means follow,_but_ they will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."

6	This illustration Jesus spoke to them, but those ones did not understand what the things were which he was speaking to them.

7	Therefore, Jesus said again to them, "Most positively, I say to you*,_I_ am the door of the sheep!

8	"All, as many as came, are thieves and robbers,_but_ the sheep did not hear them.

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

10	"The thief does not come except so that he should steal and kill and destroy._I_ came so that they shall have life, and they shall have [it] abundantly!

11	"_I_ am the good shepherd! The good shepherd lays down His life on behalf of the sheep.

12	"But the hired worker, not being also a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, watches the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.

13	"Now the hired worker flees because he is a hired worker and is not concerned about the sheep.

14	"_I_ am the good shepherd, and I know My [own], and I am known by My [own].

15	"Just as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father, and I lay down My life on behalf of the sheep.

16	"And other sheep I have which are not from this fold. These also it is necessary [for] Me to bring, and My voice they will hear. And they will become one flock, one shepherd.

17	"For this reason the Father loves Me, because_I_ lay down My life, so that I shall take it [up] again.

18	"No one takes it from Me,_but__I_ lay it down of Myself; I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it [up] again. This command I received from My Father."

19	So [there] again came to be division among the Jews because of these words.

20	But many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is raving mad; why do you hear Him [or, pay attention to Him]?"

21	Others were saying, "These are not the sayings of [one] being demon-possessed [or, oppressed by a demon]. A demon is not able to open [the] eyes of blind [people], is it?"

22	Now the Feast of Dedication [i.e. Hanukkah] took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

23	And Jesus was walking about in the temple in the Portico of Solomon.

24	Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You hold our soul in suspense? If_You_ are the Christ, tell us plainly."

25	Jesus answered them, "I told you* and you* do not believe; the works which I do in the Name of My Father, these testify concerning Me.

26	"_But_ you* do not believe, because you* are not of My sheep, just as I said to you*.

27	"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

28	"And_I_ give to them eternal life, and they shall by no means perish into the age [fig., forever]! And no one will pluck them out of My hand.

29	"My Father who has given [them] to Me is greater than all, and no one is able to be plucking [them] out of the hand of My Father.

30	"I and the Father are one!"

31	Therefore, the Jews again took up stones so that they should stone Him.

32	Jesus answered to them, "Many good works I showed to you* from my Father. On account of which work of them do you* stone Me?"

33	The Jews answered Him, saying, "Concerning a good work we do not stone You,_but_ for blasphemy, and because_You_, being a human being, are making Yourself God."

34	Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your* Law, 'I said, you are gods?' [Ps 82:6]

35	"If He called those ones "gods" to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture is not able to be broken),

36	[why of] whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you* say, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am God's Son?'

37	"If I am not doing the works of My Father, do not believe Me.

38	"But if I am doing [them], even if you* do not believe Me, be believing the works, so that you* shall know and believe that the Father [is] in Me and I [am] in Him."

39	Therefore, they were seeking again to seize Him, and He went out from their hand.

40	And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He remained there.

41	And many came to Him and were saying, "John indeed did no sign. But all [things], as many as John said concerning this One were true."

42	And many in that place believed [or, trusted] in Him.
