29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. They shall never perish, nor shall anyone snatch them from My hand. 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. The works that I do in My Father’s name bear witness of Me. 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him, saying, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”Ģ5 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you did not believe. 23 Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s Porch. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” Jesus Rejected by the JewsĢ2 The Feast of the Dedication was at Jerusalem, and it was winter. Why do you listen to Him?”Ģ1 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. 20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane. I received this command from My Father.”ġ9 Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down Myself. 17 Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it up again.

There will be one flock and one shepherd. I must also bring them, and they will hear My voice. 16 I have other sheep who are not of this fold. 15 Even as the Father knows Me, so I know the Father. 13 The hired hand runs away because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.ġ4 “I am the good shepherd. So the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 12 But he who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and runs away. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.ġ1 “I am the good shepherd. 10 The thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 8 All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. Jesus the Good Shepherdħ Then Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. For they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what He was telling them. 5 Yet they will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him. And the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 4 When he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them. He calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 10 “Truly, truly I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
