"If you were blind, you wouldn't be guilty," Jesus replied. "But you remain guilty because you claim you can see.
John.10.1
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.
John.10.1
"Let me set this before you as plainly as I can. If a person climbs over or through the fence of a sheep pen instead of going through the gate, you know he's up to no good--a sheep rustler!
John.10.1
"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
John.10.1
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
John.10.1
"I assure you, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber!

John.10.4

John.10.5
They won't follow a stranger's voice but will scatter because they aren't used to the sound of it."
John.10.5
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice."
John.10.5
Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
John.10.5
They won't follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don't recognize his voice."

John.10.7

John.10.7
so he explained it to them. "I assure you, I am the gate for the sheep," he said.
John.10.8
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
John.10.8

John.10.8

John.10.9
Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. Wherever they go, they will find green pastures.
John.10.10
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.
John.10.10
A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
John.10.10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John.10.10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John.10.10
The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.
John.10.11

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.
John.10.12
A hired man is not a real shepherd. The sheep mean nothing to him. He sees a wolf come and runs for it, leaving the sheep to be ravaged and scattered by the wolf.
John.10.12
The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
John.10.12
But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.
John.10.12
A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will leave the sheep because they aren't his and he isn't their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock.
John.10.13
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
John.10.13
He's only in it for the money. The sheep don't matter to him.
John.10.13
The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
John.10.13
The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
John.10.13
The hired hand runs away because he is merely hired and has no real concern for the sheep.
John.10.14
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
John.10.14
"I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own sheep and my own sheep know me.
John.10.14
"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me--
John.10.14
I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
John.10.14
"I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me,
John.10.15
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John.10.15
In the same way, the Father knows me and I know the Father. I put the sheep before myself, sacrificing myself if necessary.
John.10.15
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John.10.15
As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
John.10.15
just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep.
John.10.16
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.
John.10.16
You need to know that I have other sheep in addition to those in this pen. I need to gather and bring them, too. They'll also recognize my voice. Then it will be one flock, one Shepherd.
John.10.16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
John.10.16
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
John.10.16
I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
John.10.17
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
John.10.17
This is why the Father loves me: because I freely lay down my life. And so I am free to take it up again.
John.10.17
The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again.
John.10.17
"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
John.10.17
"The Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may have it back again.
John.10.18
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.
John.10.18
No one takes it from me. I lay it down of my own free will. I have the right to lay it down; I also have the right to take it up again. I received this authority personally from my Father."
John.10.18
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."
John.10.18
No one takes 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 command I have received from My Father."
John.10.18
No one can take my life from me. I lay down my life voluntarily. For I have the right to lay it down when I want to and also the power to take it again. For my Father has given me this command."
John.10.19
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
John.10.19

At these words the Jews were again divided.
John.10.19
Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.
John.10.19
When he said these things, the people were again divided in their opinions about him.
John.10.20
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
John.10.20
A lot of them were saying, "He's crazy, a maniac--out of his head completely. Why bother listening to him?"
John.10.20
Many of them said, "He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?"
John.10.20
And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?"
John.10.20
Some of them said, "He has a demon, or he's crazy. Why listen to a man like that?"
John.10.21
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
John.10.21
But others weren't so sure: "These aren't the words of a crazy man. Can a "maniac' open blind eyes?" [JC]
John.10.21
But others said, "These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
John.10.21
Others said, "These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
John.10.21
Others said, "This doesn't sound like a man possessed by a demon! Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
