好牧人
1耶穌說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，不從門進羊圈而從別處爬進去的人就是賊，是強盜。 2從門進去的才是羊的牧人， 3看門的會給他開門，羊也聽他的聲音。他按名字叫自己的羊，把牠們領出來。 4領出來之後，自己便走在前面，羊群也跟著他，因為羊認得他的聲音。 5羊從不跟隨陌生人，見了陌生人就逃跑，因為牠們不認得陌生人的聲音。」
6耶穌講了這個比喻，但聽的人都不明白祂的意思。 7於是祂又說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，我就是羊的門。 8在我以前來的，都是賊，是強盜，羊不聽從他們。 9我就是門，從我進來的必定得救，並且會安然出入，找到草吃。 10盜賊來，無非是要偷竊、殺害、毀壞。但我來是要羊得生命，並且得到豐盛的生命。
11「我是好牧人，好牧人為羊捨命。 12如果是僱工，不是牧人，羊也不是他的，狼一來，他必撇下羊逃命。狼就會抓住羊，把羊群驅散。 13他逃走，因為他是僱工，並不在乎羊。 14我是好牧人，我認識我的羊，我的羊也認識我， 15正如父認識我，我也認識父，並且我為羊捨命。 16我還有別的羊不在這羊圈裡，我必須領他們回來，他們也必聽我的聲音。這樣，我所有的羊將要合成一群，由一個牧人來帶領。 17父愛我，因為我捨棄自己的生命，為了再得回生命。 18沒有人能奪走我的生命，我是甘心捨棄的。我有權捨棄，也有權得回，這是我從父那裡得到的命令。」
19猶太人因這番話又起了紛爭。 20他們當中好些人說：「祂被鬼附身了！祂瘋了！何必聽祂的？」
21又有些人說：「被鬼附身的人不會說這種話的，鬼能醫好瞎眼的人嗎？」
被猶太人棄絕
22耶路撒冷慶祝修殿節的時候到了，是在冬天。 23當耶穌走過聖殿的所羅門廊時， 24一群猶太人圍著祂說：「你讓我們困惑、猜疑要到什麼時候呢？如果你是基督，就清楚地告訴我們吧！」
25耶穌回答說：「我已經告訴你們了，你們卻不信。我奉我父的名所行的神蹟也為我做見證， 26只是你們不肯相信，因為你們不是我的羊。 27我的羊聽我的聲音，我也認識他們，他們也跟隨我。 28我要賜他們永生，他們永不滅亡。沒有人能從我的手裡把他們搶走。 29我父把羊賜給我，祂比萬物都大，沒有人能從祂手中把羊搶走。 30我和父本為一。」
31於是猶太人又拿起石頭要打祂。 32耶穌就問他們：「我將許多從父而來的美善之事顯給你們看，你們為了哪一件事拿石頭打我呢？」
33猶太人回答說：「我們不是因為你做的善事打你，而是因為你說了褻瀆的話，你是人，卻把自己當作上帝。」
34耶穌說：「你們的律法書上不是寫著『我曾說你們都是神』嗎？ 35聖經上的話是不能廢的，既然上帝稱那些承受祂道的人為神， 36那麼我是父分別出來又差到世上來的，我說自己是上帝的兒子，難道是褻瀆嗎？ 37如果我不做我父的事，你們不必信我。 38但如果我做了，你們縱然不信我，也應該相信我所做的事，這樣你們就會知道、領悟父在我裡面，我也在父裡面。」
39他們又要抓耶穌，但祂從他們手中逃脫了。
40後來，耶穌到了約旦河東岸約翰從前施洗的地方，在那裡住下來。 41許多人來到祂那裡。他們說：「雖然約翰沒有行過神蹟，可是約翰所說關於這人的事全是真的。」 42在那裡許多人信了耶穌。
1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19¶ There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22¶ And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30I and my Father are one. 31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 40And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 41And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. 42And many believed on him there.
