John 10 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Jhn 10:1

Jhn 10:1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Jhn 10:2

Jhn 10:2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Jhn 10:3

Jhn 10:3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

Jhn 10:4

Jhn 10:4When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

Jhn 10:5

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

Jhn 10:6

Jhn 10:6This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

Jhn 10:7

Jhn 10:7Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

Jhn 10:8

Jhn 10:8All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

Jhn 10:9

Jhn 10:9I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.

Jhn 10:10

Jhn 10:10The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

Jhn 10:11

Jhn 10:11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

Jhn 10:12

Jhn 10:12He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them:

Jhn 10:13

Jhn 10:13he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

Jhn 10:14

Jhn 10:14I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,

Jhn 10:15

Jhn 10:15even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Jhn 10:16

Jhn 10:16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

Jhn 10:17

Jhn 10:17Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

Jhn 10:18

Jhn 10:18No one taketh it away 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 received I from my Father.

Jhn 10:19

Jhn 10:19There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.

Jhn 10:20

Jhn 10:20And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?

Jhn 10:21

Jhn 10:21Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

Jesus Asserts His Deity

Jhn 10:22

Jhn 10:22And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:

Jhn 10:23

Jhn 10:23it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.

Jhn 10:24

Jhn 10:24The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jhn 10:25

Jhn 10:25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.

Jhn 10:26

Jhn 10:26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.

Jhn 10:27

Jhn 10:27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Jhn 10:28

Jhn 10:28and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

Jhn 10:29

Jhn 10:29My Father, who hath given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

Jhn 10:30

Jhn 10:30I and the Father are one.

Jhn 10:31

Jhn 10:31The Jews took up stones again to stone him.

Jhn 10:32

Jhn 10:32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

Jhn 10:33

Jhn 10:33The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Jhn 10:34

Jhn 10:34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

Jhn 10:35

Jhn 10:35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),

Jhn 10:36

Jhn 10:36say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Jhn 10:37

Jhn 10:37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

Jhn 10:38

Jhn 10:38But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

Jhn 10:39

Jhn 10:39They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.

Jhn 10:40

Jhn 10:40And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode.

Jhn 10:41

Jhn 10:41And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.

Jhn 10:42

Jhn 10:42And many believed on him there.
