(11)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. (12)But he that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. (13)The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep. (14)I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and am known by mine, (15)as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. (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 flock, one shepherd. (17)For this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. (18)No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I received from my Father. (19)Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words. (20)And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him? (21)Others said: These are not the words of one that has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? (22)And there came the feast of the dedication, in Jerusalem; and it was winter. (23)And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon. (24)The Jews therefore came around him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold us in doubt[10:24]? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. (25)Jesus answered them: I told you, and ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. (26)But ye do not believe; for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. (27)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; (28)and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand. (29)My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. (30)I and the Father are one. (31)The Jews therefore took up stones again to stone him. (32)Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? (33)The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being man, makest thyself God. (34)Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (35)If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture can not be broken, (36)say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? (37)If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. (38)But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know, that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. (39)Therefore they sought again to seize him; and he went forth, out of their hand.
