John 10:13-30

13He flees becauseG3754 he is a hiredG3411 handG3411 and does not careG3199 aboutG4012 the sheepG4263. 141I amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166, and 2I knowG1097 My ownG1699, and My ownG1699 knowG1097 Me, 15justG2531 asG2531 3the FatherG3962 knowsG1097 Me and I knowG1097 the FatherG3962; and 4I layG5087 downG5087 My lifeG5590 for the sheepG4263. 16And I haveG2192 5otherG243 sheepG4263 that are not of thisG3778 foldG833; I mustG1163 bringG71 them alsoG2548, and they will listenG191 to My voiceG5456; and they will becomeG1096 6oneG1520 flockG4167, with 7oneG1520 shepherdG4166. 17For thisG3778 reasonG1223 the FatherG3962 lovesG25 Me, becauseG3754 I 8layG5087 downG5087 My lifeG5590 soG2443 thatG2443 I may takeG2983 it backG3825. 189NoG3762 oneG3762 has takenG142 it awayG142 from Me, but I 10layG5087 it downG5087 on My ownG1683. I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to layG5087 it downG5087, and I haveG2192 authorityG1849 to takeG2983 it backG3825. 11ThisG3778 commandmentG1785 I receivedG2983 from My FatherG3962.”

1912DissensionG4978 occurredG1096 againG3825 amongG1722 the JewsG2453 becauseG1223 of theseG3778 wordsG3056. 20ManyG4183 of them were sayingG3004, “He 13hasG2192 a demonG1140 and 14isG3105 insaneG3105. WhyG5101 do you listenG191 to Him?” 21OthersG243 were sayingG3004, “TheseG3778 are not the wordsG4487 of one who is 15demon-possessedG1139. 16A demonG1140 cannotG1410G3361 openG455 the eyesG3788 of those who are blindG5185, can it?”

22At that timeG5119 the 17FeastG1456 ofG1456 theG1456 DedicationG1456 tookG1096 placeG1096 in JerusalemG2414; 23it was winterG5494, and JesusG2424 was walkingG4043 in the templeG2413 area, in the porticoG4745 of 18SolomonG4672. 2419The JewsG2453 thenG3767 surroundedG2944 Him and began sayingG3004 to Him, “HowG2193 longG2193G4219 20will You keepG142 us inG5590G142 suspenseG5590G142? IfG1487 You are the 21ChristG5547, tellG3004 us 22plainlyG3954.” 25JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “23I toldG3004 you, and you do not believeG4100; 24the worksG2041 that I doG4160 in My Father’sG3962 nameG3686, theseG3778 testifyG3140 of Me. 26But you do not believeG4100, becauseG3754 25you are not of My sheepG4263. 27My sheepG4263 26listenG191 to My voiceG5456, and 27I knowG1097 them, and they followG190 Me; 28and I giveG1325 them 28eternalG166 lifeG2222, and they will neverG3756G3361 perishG622; and 29noG3756 oneG5100 will snatchG726 them out of My handG5495. 2930My FatherG3962, whoG3739 has givenG1325 them to Me, is greaterG3173 than allG3956; and noG3762 oneG3762 is ableG1410 to snatchG726 them out of the Father’sG3962 handG5495. 3031I and the FatherG3962 are 32oneG1520.”
