Amen, amen, I say to you, that whoever does not enter by the door into the fold of the flock, but climbs up from some other place, he is a thief and a robber.

But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the flock.

And to this one the door-keeper opens the door, and the flock hears his voice, and he calls his sheep by their names and leads them out.

And when he has led out his flock, he goes before it, and his own sheep go after him, because they know his voice.

But after a stranger the flock does not go, but flees from him, because it does not know the voice of a stranger.

This allegory Y'shua spoke to them; but they did not know what he said to them.

Y'shua said to them again, Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the flock.

And all who came are thieves and robbers, but the flock did not hear them.

I am the door, and if anyone enters by me, he will live, and will enter and go out, and will find pasture.

The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and may have what is more.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his flock.

But a hireling, who is not the shepherd, and whose own the sheep are not, when he sees the wolf coming, leaves the flock and flees; and the wolf comes and snatches and scatters the flock.

But the hireling flees because he is a hireling, and he has no concern for the flock.

I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and I am known by my own.

As my Father knows me, I also know my Father, and I lay down my life for the flock.

But I also have other sheep that are not from this fold, and them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice, and the whole flock will be one, and one shepherd.

For this reason my Father loves me, that I lay down my life so that I may take it again.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own will. For I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This command I have received from my Father.

And again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.

And many of them were saying, He has a demon and is completely out of his mind; why do you listen to him?

But others were saying, These words are not those of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

And the feast of the dedication was held in Urishlim, and it was winter.

And Y'shua was walking in the temple, in the porch of Shleemun.

And the Jews surrounded him and said to him, How long will you take our soul? If you are the Mashiyach, tell us plainly.

Y'shua answered and said to them: I have told you, and you do not believe. And the works that I do in the name of my Father, those testify about me.

But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I have said to you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they come after me.

And I give them life forever, and they will not be lost forever, and no one will snatch them from my hand.

For my Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch from my Father's hand.

I and my Father, we are one.

And the Jews again took up stones to stone him.

Y'shua said to them: Many good works I have shown you from my Father; for which work from them are you stoning me?

The Jews say to him: It is not because of good works that we are stoning you, but because you blaspheme; and while you are a son of man, you make yourself Elohim.

Y'shua said to them: Is it not written thus in your law, that I said, You are Elohim?

If he called them Elohim, because the word of Elohim was with them, and the writing cannot be nullified;

do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said to you, I am the Son of Elohim?

But if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me.

But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that my Father is in me and I in my Father.

And they were seeking again to seize him, and he went out from their hands.

And he went to the other side of the Yordanan, to the place where Yochanan was at first when he was immersing, and he was there.

And many people came to him, and they were saying that Yochanan did not even one sign, but everything that Yochanan said about this man is true.

And many believed in him.
