John 10
42;
42 And in that place many believed
in Jesus. (6)
369
34 Jesus
answered them, “Is it not written
in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’?
(7)
35 If He called them ‘gods,’ to
whom the Word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—
36 what about the One whom the
Father set apart as His very Own and sent into the world? Why then do you
accuse Me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
369
25 Jesus
answered, “I did tell you, but you do not
believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify about Me, (7)
26 but you do not believe because
you are not My sheep.
27 My sheep listen to My voice; I
know them, and they follow Me.
369
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. (7)
17 The
reason My Father loves Me is that I lay down My life—only
to take it up again.
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.”
369
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am
the gate for the sheep. (7)
8 All
who have come before Me are
thieves
and robbers,
but the sheep have not listened to them.
9 I am the gate;
whoever enters through
Me(Jesus) will
be saved. They will come in
and go out, and find pasture.
369
40 Then
Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in
the early days. There he stayed,
(4)
41 and many people came to Him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that
John said about this Man(Jesus) was true.”
369
31 Again
His Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone Him, (4)
32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which
of these do you stone Me?”
33 “We are not stoning You for any good work,” they replied, “but
for blasphemy, because You,
a mere Man, claim to be God.”
369
Further Conflict
Over Jesus’ Claims
22 Then
came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, (4)
23 and Jesus was in
the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.
24 The Jews who were there
gathered around Him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If You are the Messiah, tell us
plainly.”
369
13 The man runs away
because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
(4)
14 “I am the good Shepherd; I know My sheep and My
sheep know Me—
15 just as the Father knows Me and
I know the Father—and I(Jesus) lay down My life for the sheep.
369
4 When He has brought out all His wOn,
He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice. (4)
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.”
6 Jesus used this figure of speech,
but the Pharisees did not
understand what He was telling them.
369
37 Do not believe Me unless I do
the works of My Father. (1)
38 But if I do them, even though
you do not believe Me, believe the Works, that you may know and understand that the
Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”
39 Again they tried to
seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
138
28 I
give them eternal life,
and they shall never
perish; no one
will snatch
them out of My hand. (1)
29 My
Father, who has given them to Me, is Greater than all; no one
can snatch them out of
My Father’s hand.
30 I(Jesus) and the Father are One.”
138
19 The
Jews who heard these words were again divided. (1)
20 Many of them said,
“He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to Him?”
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?”
138
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. (1)
11 “I am(Jesus) the good Shepherd. The
good Shepherd lays down His life(has crucified) for the sheep.
12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own 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.
138
The Good Shepherd
and His Sheep
10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does
not enter the sheep pen by the Gate(Jesus), but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. (1)
2 The one who enters by the Gate(Jesus) is the shepherd(leader) of the sheep.
3 The Gatekeeper opens the Gate
for Him, and the sheep listen to His voice. He calls His Own sheep by name and
leads them out.
