10John 10

CHAP. X. / 1 Christ is the doore and the good Shepheard. 19 Diuers opinions of him. 24 He proueth by his workes, that he is Christ the sonne of God, 39 Escapeth the Iewes, 40 and went againe beyond Io

1Verily, verily I say vnto you, He that entreth not by þe doore into the sheepefold, but climeth vp some other way, the same is a theefe, and a robber.Select John 10:1

2But hee that entreth in by the doore, is the shepherd of the sheepe.Select John 10:2

3To him the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.Select John 10:3

4And when he putteth foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce.Select John 10:4

5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voyce of strangers.Select John 10:5

6This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstood not what things they were which he spake vnto them.Select John 10:6

7Then said Iesus vnto them againe, Uerily, verily I say vnto you, I am the doore of the sheepe.Select John 10:7

8All that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.Select John 10:8

9I am the doore by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall goe in and out, and find pasture.Select John 10:9

10The theefe commeth not, but for to steale and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and that they might haue it more abundantly.Select John 10:10

11I am the good shepheard: the good shepheard giueth his life for the sheepe.Select John 10:11

12But hee that is an hireling and not the shepheard, whose owne the sheepe are not, seeth the woolfe coming, and leaueth the sheep, and fleeth: and the woolfe catcheth them, and scattereth the sheepe.Select John 10:12

13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, & careth not for the sheepe.Select John 10:13

14I am the good shepheard, and know my sheepe, and am knowen of mine.Select John 10:14

15As the father knoweth me, euen so know I the father: & I lay downe my life for the sheepe.Select John 10:15

16And other sheepe I haue, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall heare my voyce; and there shall be one fold, and one shepheard.Select John 10:16

17Therefore doth my father loue me, because I lay downe my life that I might take it againe.Select John 10:17

18No man taketh it from me, but I lay it downe of my selfe: I haue power to lay it downe, and I haue power to take it againe. This commandement haue I receiued of my father.Select John 10:18

19There was a diuision therefore againe among the Iewes for these sayings.Select John 10:19

20And many of them said, He hath a deuill, and is mad, why heare ye him?Select John 10:20

21Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a deuill. Can a deuill open the eyes of the blind?Select John 10:21

22And it was at Hierusalem the feast of the dedication, & it was winter.Select John 10:22

23And Iesus walked in the temple in Solomons porch.Select John 10:23

24Then came the Iewes round about him, and said vnto him, How long doest thou make vs to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell vs plainely.Select John 10:24

25Iesus answered them, I told you, and ye beleeued not: the workes that I doe in my Fathers name, they beare witnesse of me.Select John 10:25

26But ye beleeue not, because ye are not of my sheepe, as I said vnto you.Select John 10:26

27My sheepe heare my voyce, and I know them, and they follow me.Select John 10:27

28And I giue vnto them eternall life, and they shall neuer perish, neither shall any man plucke them out of my hand.Select John 10:28

29My father which gaue them me, is greater then all: and no man is able to plucke them out of my fathers hand.Select John 10:29

30I and my father are one.Select John 10:30

31Then the Iewes tooke vp stones againe to stone him.Select John 10:31

32Iesus answered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my Father; for which of those workes doe ye stone me?Select John 10:32

33The Iewes answered him, saying, For a good worke we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thy selfe God.Select John 10:33

34Iesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?Select John 10:34

35If hee called them gods, vnto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken:Select John 10:35

36Say ye of him, whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Sonne of God?Select John 10:36

37If I doe not the workes of my Father, beleeue me not.Select John 10:37

38But if I doe, though yee beleeue not me, beleeue the works: that ye may know and beleeue that the Father is in me, and I in him.Select John 10:38

39Therefore they sought againe to take him: but hee escaped out of their hand,Select John 10:39

40And went away againe beyond Iordane, into the place where Iohn at first baptized: and there he abode.Select John 10:40

41And many resorted vnto him, and said, Iohn did no miracle: but all things that Iohn spake of this man, were true.Select John 10:41

42And many beleeued on him there.Select John 10:42
