NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

John 10

Parable of the Good Shepherd

1

"Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you, he who does not enterg1525 by the doorg2374 into the foldg833 of the sheepg4263b, but climbsg305 up someg237a otherg237a wayg237a, he is  aa thiefg2812 and a robberg3027.

2

"But he who entersg1525 by the doorg2374 is  aa shepherdg4166 of the sheepg4263b.

3

"To him the doorkeeperg2377 opensg455, and the sheepg4263b hearg191  ahis voiceg5456, and he callsg5455 his owng2398 sheepg4263b by nameg3686 and  bleadsg1806 them out.

4

"Wheng3752 he putsg1544b forthg1544b allg3956 his owng2398, he goesg4198 aheadg1715 of them, and the sheepg4263b followg190 him becauseg3754 they knowg3609a  ahis voiceg5456.

5

"A strangerg245 they simply will not followg190, but will fleeg5343 from him, becauseg3754 they do not knowg3609a  athe voiceg5456 of strangersg245."

6

Thisg3778  afigureg3942 of speechg3942 Jesusg2424 spokeg3004 to them, but they did not understandg1097 whatg5101 those things were whichg3739 He had been sayingg2980 to them.

7

Sog3767 Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them againg3825, "Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you, I amg1510  athe doorg2374 of the sheepg4263b.

8

"Allg3956 whog3745 cameg2064 beforeg4253 Me are  athievesg2812 and robbersg3027, but the sheepg4263b did not hearg191 them.

9

aI amg1510 the doorg2374; ifg1437 anyoneg5100 entersg1525 throughg1223 Me, he will be savedg4982, and will gog1525g1831 in and out and findg2147 pastureg3542.

10

"The thiefg2812 comesg2064 onlyg3756g1487g3361 to stealg2813 and killg2380 and destroyg622; I cameg2064 that they  amay haveg2192 lifeg2222, and  1haveg2192 it abundantlyg4053.

11

aI amg1510 the goodg2570 shepherdg4166; the goodg2570 shepherdg4166  blaysg5087 downg5087 His lifeg5590 for the sheepg4263b.

12

"He who is a hiredg3411 handg3411, and not a  ashepherdg4166, whog3739 is not the ownerg2398 of the sheepg4263b, seesg2334 the wolfg3074 comingg2064, and leavesg863 the sheepg4263b and fleesg5343, and the wolfg3074 snatchesg726 them and scattersg4650 them.

13

"He flees becauseg3754 he is a hiredg3411 handg3411 and is not concernedg3199 aboutg4012 the sheepg4263b.

14

aI amg1510 the goodg2570 shepherdg4166, and  bI knowg1097 My owng1699 and My owng1699 knowg1097 Me,

15

eveng2531a as  athe Fatherg3962 knowsg1097 Me and I knowg1097 the Fatherg3962; and  bI layg5087 downg5087 My lifeg5590 for the sheepg4263b.

16

"I haveg2192  aotherg243 sheepg4263b, whichg3739 are not of thisg3778 foldg833; I mustg1163 bringg71 them alsog2548, and they will hearg191 My voiceg5456; and they will becomeg1096  boneg1520 flockg4167 with  coneg1520 shepherdg4166.

17

"For thisg3778 reasong1223 the Fatherg3962 lovesg25 Me, becauseg3754 I  alayg5087 downg5087 My lifeg5590 sog2443 that I may takeg2983 it againg3825.

18

aNog3762 oneg3762 has takeng142 it awayg142 from Me, but I  blayg5087 it downg5087 on My owng1683 initiativeg1683. I haveg2192 authorityg1849 to layg5087 it downg5087, and I haveg2192 authorityg1849 to takeg2983 it up againg3825.  cThisg3778 commandmentg1785 I receivedg2983 from My Fatherg3962."

19

 aA divisiong4978 occurredg1096 againg3825 amongg1722 the Jewsg2453 becauseg1223 of theseg3778 wordsg3056.

20

Manyg4183 of them were sayingg3004, "He  ahasg2192 a demong1140 and  bis insaneg3105. Whyg5101 do you listeng191 to Him?"

21

Othersg243 were sayingg3004, "Theseg3778 are not the sayingsg4487 of one  ademon-possessedg1139.  bA demong1140 cannotg1410g3361 openg455 the eyesg3788 of the blindg5185, can he?"

Jesus Asserts His Deity

22

At that timeg5119 the Feastg1456 of the Dedicationg1456 tookg1096 placeg1096 at Jerusalemg2414;

23

it was winterg5494, and Jesusg2424 was walkingg4043 in the templeg2413 in the porticog4745 of  aSolomong4672.

24

 aThe Jewsg2453 theng3767 gatheredg2944 aroundg2944 Him, and were sayingg3004 to Him, "Howg2193 longg2193g4219  1will You keepg142 us in suspenseg5590g142? Ifg1487 You are  2the Christg5547, tellg3004 us  bplainlyg3954."

25

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 them, aI toldg3004 you, and you do not believeg4100;  bthe worksg2041 that I dog4160 in My Father'sg3962 nameg3686, theseg3778 testifyg3140 of Me.

26

"But you do not believeg4100 becauseg3754  ayou are not of My sheepg4263b.

27

"My sheepg4263b  ahearg191 My voiceg5456, and  bI knowg1097 them, and they followg190 Me;

28

and I giveg1325  aeternalg166 lifeg2222 to them, and they will neverg3756g3361 perishg622; and  bnog3756 oneg5100 will snatchg726 them out of My handg5495.

29

1My 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.

30

aI and the Fatherg3962 are  1oneg1520."

31

The Jewsg2453  apickedg941 up stonesg3037 againg3825 to stoneg3034 Him.

32

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 them, "I showedg1166 you manyg4183 goodg2570 worksg2041 from the Fatherg3962; for whichg4169 of them are you stoningg3034 Me?"

33

The Jewsg2453 answeredg611 Him, "For a goodg2570 workg2041 we do not stoneg3034 You, but for  ablasphemyg988; and becauseg3754 You, beingg1510 a mang444,  bmakeg4160 Yourselfg4572 out to be Godg2316."

34

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 them, "Has it not beeng1510 writteng1125 in  ayour  bLawg3551, ` cI SAIDg3004, YOU ARE GODSg2316'?

35

"Ifg1487 he calledg3004 them godsg2316, to whomg3739 the wordg3056 of Godg2316 cameg1096 (and the Scriptureg1124 cannotg1410g3756 be brokeng3089),

36

do you sayg3004 of Him, whomg3739 the Fatherg3962  asanctifiedg37 and  bsentg649 into the worldg2889, `You are blasphemingg987,' becauseg3754 I saidg3004, ` cI amg1510 the Song5207 of Godg2316'?

37

aIfg1487 I do not dog4160 the worksg2041 of My Fatherg3962, do not believeg4100 Me;

38

but ifg1487 I dog4160 them, thoughg2579 you do not believeg4100 Me, believeg4100  athe worksg2041, sog2443 that you may  1knowg1097 and understandg1097 that  bthe Fatherg3962 is in Me, and I in the Fatherg3962."

39

Thereforeg3767  athey were seekingg2212 againg3825 to seizeg4084 Him, and  bHe eludedg1831 their graspg5495.

40

And He wentg565 awayg565  aagaing3825 beyondg4008 the Jordang2446 to the placeg5117 whereg3699 Johng2491 was firstg4413 baptizingg907, and He was stayingg3306 thereg1563.

41

Manyg4183 cameg2064 to Him and were sayingg3004, "Whileg3303a Johng2491 performedg4160 nog3762  asigng4592, yetg1161  beverythingg3956 Johng2491 saidg3004 aboutg4012 thisg3778 mang3778 was trueg227."

42

 aManyg4183 believedg4100 in Him thereg1563.
