The Gospel of John

7. So again Jesus said to them, "Verily, truly, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep."

8. All of them, however many have come before Me, are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them.

9. I am the door: whoever enters in by Me will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

10. A thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I came that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.

11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12. But a hireling, not a shepherd, to whom the sheep are not his own, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf plunders the sheep, and scatters them.

13. But the hireling flees because he is a hireling, and does not care for the sheep.

14. I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me.

15. As the Father knows Me, so I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16. I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and these I must bring, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

17. Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to receive it again.

18. No one takes it away from me, but I give it myself. I have the power to give it up, and I have the power to receive it again. This commandment I have received from My Father.

19. From these words again there arose strife among the Jews.

20. Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad; Why do you listen to Him?

21. Others said, "These are not the words of a demoniac man; Can the demon open the eyes of the blind?

22. Then the feast of dedication came to Jerusalem, and it was winter.

23. И ходил Иисус в храме, в притворе Соломоновом.

24. Тут Иудеи обступили Его и говорили Ему: долго ли Тебе держать нас в недоумении? если Ты Христос, скажи нам прямо.

25. Иисус отвечал им: Я сказал вам, и не верите; дела, которые творю Я во имя Отца Моего, они свидетельствуют о Мне.

26. Но вы не верите, ибо вы не из овец Моих, как Я сказал вам.

27. Овцы Мои слушаются голоса Моего, и Я знаю их; и они идут за Мною.
