But they will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of the strangers.<br \/>\nJoh 10:6  Jesus spoke this allegory to them, but they did not know what it was which He spoke to them.<br \/>\nJoh 10:7  Then Jesus again said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you that I am the door of the sheep.<br \/>\nJoh 10:8  All who came before Me are thieves and plunderers, but the sheep did not hear them.<br \/>\nJoh 10:9  I am the door. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in, and will go out, and will find pasture.<br \/>\nJoh 10:10  The thief does not come except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life and may have it abundantly.<br \/>\nJoh 10:11  I am the Good Shepherd! The Good Shepherd lays down His life on behalf of the sheep.<br \/>\nJoh 10:12  But the hireling, not even being a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and forsakes the sheep and flees. And the wolf seizes them, and scatters the sheep.<br \/>\nJoh 10:13  But the hireling flees because he is a hireling, and there is not a care to him concerning the sheep.<br \/>\nJoh 10:14  I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that are Mine, and I am known by the ones that are Mine.<br \/>\nJoh 10:15  Even as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.<br \/>\nJoh 10:16  And I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock, one Shepherd.<br \/>\nJoh 10:17  For this reason My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that I may take it again.<br \/>\nJoh 10:18  No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I received this commandment from My Father.<br \/>\nJoh 10:19  Then a division occurred again among the Jews, because of these words.<br \/>\nJoh 10:20  And many of them said, He has a demon and is insane. Why do you hear Him?<br \/>\nJoh 10:21  Others said, These are not words of one having been possessed by a demon. A demon is not able to open the eyes of blind ones.<br \/>\nJoh 10:22  And the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter.<br \/>\nJoh 10:23  And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon&#8217;s Porch.<br \/>\nJoh 10:24  Then the Jews encircled Him, and said to Him, Until when do You lift up our soul? If You are the Christ, tell us publicly.<br \/>\nJoh 10:25  Jesus answered them, I told you, and you did not believe. The works which I do in the name of My Father, these bear witness about Me.<br \/>\nJoh 10:26  But you do not believe for you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.<br \/>\nJoh 10:27  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.<br \/>\nJoh 10:28  And I give eternal life to them, and they shall not perish to the age, never! And not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand.<br \/>\nJoh 10:29  My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of My Father&#8217;s hand.<br \/>\nJoh 10:30  I and the Father are One!<br \/>\nJoh 10:31  Then again the Jews took up stones, that they might stone Him.<br \/>\nJoh 10:32  Jesus answered them, I showed you many good works from My Father. For which work of them do you stone Me?<br \/>\nJoh 10:33  The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not stone You concerning a good work, but concerning blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself God.<br \/>\nJoh 10:34  Jesus answered them, Has it not been written in your Law, &#8220;I said, you are gods- Psa. 82:6<br \/>\nJoh 10:35  If He called those gods with whom the Word of God was, and the Scripture cannot be broken,<br \/>\nJoh 10:36  do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am Son of God?<br \/>\nJoh 10:37  If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me.<br \/>\nJoh 10:38  But if I do, even if you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may perceive and may believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.<br \/>\nJoh 10:39  Then again they sought to seize Him. And He went forth from their hand.<br \/>\nJoh 10:40  And He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John was at first baptizing and remained there.<br \/>\nJoh 10:41  And many came to Him and said, John indeed did no miraculous sign, but all things that John said concerning this One were true.<br \/>\nJoh 10:42  And many believed into Him there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joh 10:1 Truly, truly, I say to you, The one not entering through the door into the sheepfold, but going up by another way, that one is a thief and a plunderer.
