John 10 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

I Am the Good Shepherd

“Truly^G281, truly^G281, I say^G3004 to you, he who does not enter^G1525 by the door^G2374 into the fold^G833 of the sheep^G4263, but climbs^G305 up^G305 some^G237 other^G237 way^G237, he is a thief^G2812 and a robber^G3027.

Jhn 10:2

Jhn 10:2“But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.

Jhn 10:3

Jhn 10:3“To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

Jhn 10:4

Jhn 10:4“When he brings all his own out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

Jhn 10:5

Jhn 10:5“A stranger they will never follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

Jhn 10:6

Jhn 10:6This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.

Jhn 10:7

So^G3767 Jesus^G2424 said^G3004 to them again^G3825, “Truly^G281, truly^G281, I say^G3004 to you, I am^G1510 the door^G2374 of the sheep^G4263.

Jhn 10:8

Jhn 10:8“All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

Jhn 10:9

Jhn 10:9“I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Jhn 10:10

Jhn 10:10“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and [fn]have it abundantly.

Jhn 10:11

“I am^G1510 the good^G2570 shepherd^G4166; the good^G2570 shepherd^G4166 lays^G5087 down^G5087 His life^G5590 for the sheep^G4263.

Jhn 10:12

Jhn 10:12“He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees—and the wolf snatches and scatters them—

Jhn 10:13

Jhn 10:13because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.

Jhn 10:14

Jhn 10:14“I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

Jhn 10:15

Jhn 10:15even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

Jhn 10:16

Jhn 10:16“And I have other sheep, which are not from this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

Jhn 10:17

Jhn 10:17“For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.

Jhn 10:18

Jhn 10:18“No one [fn]takes it away from Me, but from Myself, I lay it down. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

Jhn 10:19

A division^G4978 occurred^G1096 again^G3825 among^G1722 the Jews^G2453 because^G1223 of these^G3778 words^G3056.

Jhn 10:20

Jhn 10:20And many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”

Jhn 10:21

Jhn 10:21Others were saying, “These are not the words of someone demon-possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

I and the Father Are One

Jhn 10:22

At that time^G5119 the Feast^G1456 of^G1456 the^G1456 Dedication^G1456 took^G1096 place^G1096 at Jerusalem^G2414;

Jhn 10:23

Jhn 10:23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon.

Jhn 10:24

Jhn 10:24The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long [fn]will You keep us in suspense? If You are the [fn]Christ, tell us openly.”

Jhn 10:25

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

Jhn 10:26

Jhn 10:26“But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep.

Jhn 10:27

Jhn 10:27“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;

Jhn 10:28

Jhn 10:28and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish—ever; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

Jhn 10:29

Jhn 10:29“[fn]My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

Jhn 10:30

Jhn 10:30“I and the Father are [fn]one.”

Jhn 10:31

The Jews^G2453 picked^G941 up stones^G3037 again^G3825 to stone^G3034 Him.

Jhn 10:32

Jhn 10:32Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?”

Jhn 10:33

Jhn 10:33The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself God.”

Jhn 10:34

Jhn 10:34Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

Jhn 10:35

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

Jhn 10:36

Jhn 10:36do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

Jhn 10:37

Jhn 10:37“If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;

Jhn 10:38

Jhn 10:38but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and continue knowing that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”

Jhn 10:39

Jhn 10:39Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He eluded their grasp.

Jhn 10:40

And He went^G565 away^G565 again^G3825 beyond^G4008 the Jordan^G2446 to the place^G5117 where^G3699 John^G2491 was first^G4413 baptizing^G907, and He was staying^G3306 there^G1563.
