John 10:13
Compare all
11 a“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.  
12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and aleaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.  
13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; and aI know My sheep, and bam known by My own.  
15 aAs the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; band I lay down My life for the sheep.  
16 And aother sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; band there will be one flock and one shepherd.  
17 “Therefore My Father aloves Me, bbecause I lay down My life that I may take it again.  
18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I ahave power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. bThis command I have received from My Father.”  
19 Therefore athere was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.  
20 And many of them said, a“He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?”  
21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. aCan a demon bopen the eyes of the blind?”  

The Shepherd Knows His Sheep

22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple, ain Solomon’s porch.  
24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in1 doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”  
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. aThe works that I do in My Father’s name, they bbear witness of Me.  
26 But ayou do not believe, because you are not of My sheep,1 as I said to you.  
27 aMy sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29 aMy Father, bwho has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.  
30 aI and My Father are one.”  

Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus

31 Then athe Jews took up stones again to stone Him.  
32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for ablasphemy, and because You, being a Man, bmake Yourself God.”  
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, a‘I said, “You are gods” ’?  
35 If He called them gods, ato whom the word of God came (and the Scripture bcannot be broken),  
36 do you say of Him awhom the Father sanctified and bsent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ cbecause I said, ‘I am dthe Son of God’?  
37 aIf I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;  
38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, abelieve the works, that you may know and1 believe bthat the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”  
39 aTherefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.  

The Believers Beyond Jordan

40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place awhere John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.  
41 Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, abut all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.”  
42 And many believed in Him there.
