John 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 1 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the
sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a
robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the
shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep
hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them
out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep,
he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but
will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what
things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves
and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly.
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.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an
hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep,
and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I
the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of
this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because
I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
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.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long
dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye
believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness
of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of
my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,
and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them
eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man
pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is
greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my
Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have
I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee
not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself
God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in
your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the
word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath
sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I
am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father,
believe me not.
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me,
believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is
in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore
they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at
first baptized; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but
all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner |
