WPNT(i)
12 But the hired man, not being the shepherd and not owning the sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep, and runs away; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 Now the hired man runs away because he is a hired man and it doesn’t matter to him about the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and I am known by them.
15 Just as the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep.
16 I also have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17 “Because of this the Father loves me, in that I lay down my life so that I may take it up 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 up again. This command I have received from my father.”
19 Therefore there was another division among the Jews because of these words.
20 Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is raving mad. Why do you listen to him?”
21 Others were saying, “These aren’t the sayings of someone who is demonized. A demon can’t open blind people’s eyes, can it?”
22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem; and it was winter.
23 And Jesus was walking about in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them, “I did tell you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name—these testify concerning me.
26 But you do not believe because you are not among my sheep, just like I told you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never ever be wasted; and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and the Father are one.”
31 Therefore the Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.
32 Jesus answered them: “Many good works I have shown you from my father. For which one of them are you stoning me?”
33 The Jews answered Him saying, “It’s not for a good work that we are stoning you, but for blasphemy; precisely because you, being a man, make yourself God!”
34 Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 If He called them ‘gods’ to whom the Word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken —
36 do you say ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father sanctified and sent into the world because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 But if I am doing them, even though you don’t believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in Him.”
39 So they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped from their hand.
40 He went away again across the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at first; and He remained there.
41 And many came to Him and said, “Though John didn’t perform any sign, everything John said about this man was true.”
42 And many of the people there believed into Him.
