![]() For which of these are you trying to stone me?”ģ3The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. s 32Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. q 30 * The Father and I are one.” rģ1The Jews again picked up rocks to stone him. p 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, * and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand. ![]() o 27My sheep hear my voice I know them, and they follow me.Ģ8I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. n 26But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep. The works I do in my Father’s name testify to me. l 23 * And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.Ģ4So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? * If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” m 25Jesus answered them, “I told you * and you do not believe. 22The feast of the Dedication * was then taking place in Jerusalem. i 20Many of them said, “He is possessed and out of his mind why listen to him?” j 21Others said, “These are not the words of one possessed surely a demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?” kįeast of the Dedication. * This command I have received from my Father.” hġ9Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. ![]() g 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. f 17This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. e 16I have other sheep * that do not belong to this fold. d 13This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.ġ4I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me,ġ5just as the Father knows me and I know the Father and I will lay down my life for the sheep. c 12A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture.ġ0A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.ġ1I am the good shepherd. 1 * “Amen, amen, I say to you, a whoever does not enter a sheepfold * through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.ĢBut whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.ģThe gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.Ĥ * When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, b because they recognize his voice.ĥBut they will not follow a stranger they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.”ĦAlthough Jesus used this figure of speech, * they did not realize what he was trying to tell them.ħ * So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.Ĩ * All who came are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.ĩI am the gate.
