Verily, verily, I say unto you: - He that entereth not, through the door, into the fold of the sheep, but goeth up from another place, that man, is, a thief, and, a robber.

But, he that entereth through the door, is, shepherd, of the sheep:

To him, the porter openeth, and, the sheep, unto his voice, hearken: and, his own sheep, he calleth by name, and leadeth them forth.

As soon as, all his own, he hath put forth, before them, he moveth on, and, the sheep, follow him, because they know his voice;

But, a stranger, will they in nowise follow, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice, of strangers.

This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.

Jesus, therefore, said, again - Verily, verily, I say unto you: - I, am the door of the sheep:

All, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them.

I, am the door: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find.

The thief, cometh not, save that he may thieve and slay and destroy: I, came, that, life, they might have, and, above measure, might have.

I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep.

The hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, - and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth, -

Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.

I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, -

Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep.

And, other sheep, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.

Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: -

No one, forced it from me, but, I, lay it down, of myself, - Authority, have I, to lay it down, and, authority, have I, again, to receive it: This commandment, received I, from my Father.

A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.

But many from among them were saying - A demon, he hath, and is raving, - Why, unto him, do ye hearken?

Others, said - These sayings, are not those of one demonized, - Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
