1AMEN, amen, I say to you, Whosoever entereth not by the door into the fold of the flock, but ascendeth by another place, he is a thief and a robber. 2But he who entereth by the door, he is the shepherd of the flock. 3And to him the keeper of the gate openeth the gate, and the flock heareth his voice, and his sheep he calleth by their names, and he leadeth them forth; 4and when his flock hath gone forth, he goeth before it, and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice. 5But after a stranger the flock goeth not, but it fleeth from him; for it knoweth not the voice of a stranger. 6This parable spake Jeshu to them, but they knew not what he said with them. 7Jeshu saith to them again, Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate of the flock; 8and all those who have come were thieves and robbers, but the flock heard them not. 9I am the gate; by me if any man enter, he shall live and shall come in, and go out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that which is more. 11I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd his life layeth down for his flock. 12The hireling who is not the shepherd, and whose the sheep are not, when he seeth the wolf coming, leaveth the flock and fleeth; and the wolf cometh ravaging and destroying the flock. 13But the hireling fleeth because he is an hireling, and careth not for the flock. 14I am the good shepherd, and know my own, and am known of my own. 15As my Father knoweth me (and) I know my Father, and my life I lay down for the flock. 16But I have other sheep also which are not of this fold; and these also it behoveth me to bring, and they will hear my voice, and all shall become one flock and one shepherd. 17On this account my Father loveth me, because I lay down my life again to take it. 18No man taketh it away from me, but I lay it down from my will; for I am able to lay it down, and I am able to take it again; for this commandment have I received from my Father. 19And there was again a division among the Jihudoyee because of his words: 20and many of them said, He has a devil, and is altogether insane, why do you hear him? 21But others said, These words are not of a demoniac: how can a devil open the eyes of the blind? 22IT was the feast of the renovation at Urishlem, 23and it was winter. And Jeshu walked in the temple in the portico of Shelumun. 24And the Jihudoyee surrounded him, saying to him, How long takest thou our souls? If thou art the Meshicha, tell us openly. 25Jeshu answered and said to them, I have told you, and you believe not. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these witness for me. 26But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, (even) as I told you. 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; 28and I give to them the life which is eternal, and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall snatch them from my hands. 29For my Father who gave them to me than all is greater; and no man from the hand of my Father can snatch them. 30I and my Father are One. 31And again the Jihudoyee took up stones to stone him. 32Jeshu saith to them, Many good works from my Father have I showed you: on account of which of these works do you stone me? 33The Jihudoyee say to him, Not on account of the good works do we stone thee, but because thou blasphemest; thou, being a son of man, making thyself Aloha. 34Jeshu saith to them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Alohee? 35If them he calleth Alohee, because with them was the word of Aloha, and the scripture cannot be loosed, 36to him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, say you, Thou blasphemest, because I have said to you, I am the Son of Aloha? 37And if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; 38but if I do, though you believe not me, the works believe, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and (that) I (am) in the Father. 39And they sought again to apprehend him; but he went forth from among their hands: 40and he went beyond Jurdan, to the place where Juchanon at first had baptized, and was there. 41And many came to him, and said, Juchanon did not one sign; but every thing which Juchanon said concerning this man was true. 42And many believed in him.
