¹Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

KJVNow^G1161 a certain^G5100 man was^G2258^(G5713) sick^G770^(G5723), named Lazarus^G2976, of^G575 Bethany^G963,^G1537 the town^G2968 of Mary^G3137 and^G2532 her^G846 sister^G79 Martha^G3136.

² It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

KJV^G1161(It was^G2258^(G5713) that Mary^G3137 which^G3588 anointed^G218^(G5660) the Lord^G2962 with ointment^G3464, and^G2532 wiped^G1591^(G5660) his^G846 feet^G4228 with her^G846 hair^G2359, whose^G3739 brother^G80 Lazarus^G2976 was sick^G770^(G5707).)

³ The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”

KJVTherefore^G3767 his sisters^G79 sent^G649^(G5656) unto^G4314 him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Lord^G2962, behold^G2396, he whom^G3739 thou lovest^G5368^(G5719) is sick^G770^(G5719).

⁴ But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”

KJVWhen^G1161 Jesus^G2424 heard^G191^(G5660) that, he said^G2036^(G5627), This^G3778 sickness^G769 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 unto^G4314 death^G2288, but^G235 for^G5228 the glory^G1391 of God^G2316, that^G2443 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316 might be glorified^G1392^(G5686) thereby^G1223^G846.

⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

KJVNow^G1161 Jesus^G2424 loved^G25^(G5707) Martha^G3136, and^G2532 her^G846 sister^G79, and^G2532 Lazarus^G2976.

⁶ When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

KJVWhen^G5613 he had heard^G191^(G5656) therefore^G3767 that^G3754 he was sick^G770^(G5719), he abode^G3306^(G5656) two^G1417 days^G2250 still^G5119^G3303 in^G1722 the same place^G5117 where^G3739 he was^G2258^(G5713).

⁷ Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

KJVThen^G1899 after^G3326 that^G5124 saith he^G3004^(G5719) to his disciples^G3101, Let us go^G71^(G5725) into^G1519 Judaea^G2449 again^G3825.

⁸ The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”

KJVHis disciples^G3101 say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Master^G4461, the Jews^G2453 of late^G3568 sought^G2212^(G5707) to stone^G3034^(G5658) thee^G4571; and^G2532 goest thou^G5217^(G5719) thither^G1563 again^G3825?

⁹ Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662), Are there^G1526^(G5748) not^G3780 twelve^G1427 hours^G5610 in the day^G2250? If^G1437 any man^G5100 walk^G4043^(G5725) in^G1722 the day^G2250, he stumbleth^G4350^(G5719) not^G3756, because^G3754 he seeth^G991^(G5719) the light^G5457 of this^G5127 world^G2889.

¹⁰ But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1437 a man^G5100 walk^G4043^(G5725) in^G1722 the night^G3571, he stumbleth^G4350^(G5719), because^G3754 there is^G2076^(G5748) no^G3756 light^G5457 in^G1722 him^G846.

¹¹ He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

KJVThese things^G5023 said^G2036^(G5627) he^G846: and^G2532 after^G3326 that^G5124 he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Our^G2257 friend^G5384 Lazarus^G2976 sleepeth^G2837^(G5769); but^G235 I go^G4198^(G5736), that^G2443 I may awake^G1852 him^G846 out of sleep^G1852^(G5661).

¹² The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) his^G846 disciples^G3101, Lord^G2962, if^G1487 he sleep^G2837^(G5769), he shall do well^G4982^(G5701).

¹³ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

KJVHowbeit^G1161 Jesus^G2424 spake^G2046^(G5715) of^G4012 his^G846 death^G2288: but^G1161 they^G1565 thought^G1380^(G5656) that^G3754 he had spoken^G3004^(G5719) of^G4012 taking of rest^G2838 in sleep^G5258.

¹⁴ So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.

KJVThen^G5119^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 unto them^G846 plainly^G3954, Lazarus^G2976 is dead^G599^(G5627).

¹⁵ I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

KJVAnd^G2532 I am glad^G5463^(G5719) for^G1223 your sakes^G5209 that^G3754 I was^G2252^(G5713)^(G5625)^G2258^(G5713) not^G3756 there^G1563, to the intent^G2443 ye may believe^G4100^(G5661); nevertheless^G235 let us go^G71^(G5725) unto^G4314 him^G846.

¹⁶ Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Thomas^G2381, which^G3588 is called^G3004^(G5746) Didymus^G1324, unto his fellowdisciples^G4827, Let us^G71 also^G2532 go^G71^(G5725), that^G2443 we^G2249 may die^G599^(G5632) with^G3326 him^G846.

¹⁷ So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

KJVThen^G3767 when Jesus^G2424 came^G2064^(G5631), he found^G2147^(G5627) that he^G846 had^G2192^(G5723) lain in^G1722 the grave^G3419 four^G5064 days^G2250 already^G2235.

¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

KJVNow^G1161 Bethany^G963 was^G2258^(G5713) nigh^G1451 unto Jerusalem^G2414, about^G5613 fifteen^G1178 furlongs^G4712 off^G575:

¹⁹ Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

KJVAnd^G2532 many^G4183 of^G1537 the Jews^G2453 came^G2064^(G5715) to^G4314 Martha^G3136 and^G2532 Mary^G3137^G4012, to^G2443 comfort^G3888^(G5667) them^G846 concerning^G4012 their^G846 brother^G80.

²⁰ Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

KJVThen^G3767 Martha^G3136, as soon as^G5613 she heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 was coming^G2064^(G5736), went and met^G5221^(G5656) him^G846: but^G1161 Mary^G3137 sat^G2516^(G5711) still in^G1722 the house^G3624.

²¹ Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Martha^G3136 unto^G4314 Jesus^G2424, Lord^G2962, if^G1487 thou hadst been^G2258^(G5713) here^G5602, my^G3450 brother^G80^G302 had^G2348 not^G3756 died^G2348^(G5715).

²² Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

KJVBut^G235 I know^G1492^(G5758), that even^G2532 now^G3568, whatsoever^G3754^G3745^G302 thou wilt ask^G154^(G5672) of God^G2316, God^G2316 will give^G1325^(G5692) it thee^G4671.

²³ Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, Thy^G4675 brother^G80 shall rise again^G450^(G5698).

²⁴ Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

KJVMartha^G3136 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, I know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 he shall rise again^G450^(G5698) in^G1722 the resurrection^G386 at^G1722 the last^G2078 day^G2250.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

KJVJesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) the resurrection^G386, and^G2532 the life^G2222: he that believeth^G4100^(G5723) in^G1519 me^G1691, though^G2579 he were dead^G599^(G5632), yet shall he live^G2198^(G5695):

²⁶ Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3956 liveth^G2198^(G5723) and^G2532 believeth^G4100^(G5723) in^G1519 me^G1691 shall^G599 never^G3364^G1519^G165 die^G599^(G5632). Believest thou^G4100^(G5719) this^G5124?

²⁷ She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

KJVShe saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Yea^G3483, Lord^G2962: I^G1473 believe^G4100^(G5758) that^G3754 thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) the Christ^G5547, the Son^G5207 of God^G2316, which^G3588 should come^G2064^(G5740) into^G1519 the world^G2889.

²⁸ When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”

KJVAnd^G2532 when she had^G2036 so^G5023 said^G2036^(G5631), she went her way^G565^(G5627), and^G2532 called^G5455^(G5656) Mary^G3137 her^G846 sister^G79 secretly^G2977, saying^G2036^(G5631), The Master^G1320 is come^G3918^(G5748), and^G2532 calleth for^G5455^(G5719) thee^G4571.

²⁹ When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.

KJVAs soon as^G5613 she^G1565 heard^G191^(G5656) that, she arose^G1453^(G5743) quickly^G5035, and^G2532 came^G2064^(G5736) unto^G4314 him^G846.

³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

KJVNow^G1161 Jesus^G2424 was^G2064 not yet^G3768 come^G2064^(G5715) into^G1519 the town^G2968, but^G235 was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 that place^G5117 where^G3699 Martha^G3136 met^G5221^(G5656) him^G846.

³¹ Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

KJVThe Jews^G2453 then^G3767 which^G3588 were^G5607^(G5752) with^G3326 her^G846 in^G1722 the house^G3614, and^G2532 comforted^G3888^(G5740) her^G846, when they saw^G1492^(G5631) Mary^G3137, that^G3754 she rose up^G450^(G5627) hastily^G5030 and^G2532 went out^G1831^(G5627), followed^G190^(G5656) her^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 She goeth^G5217^(G5719) unto^G1519 the grave^G3419 to^G2443 weep^G2799^(G5661) there^G1563.

³² Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

KJVThen^G3767 when^G5613 Mary^G3137 was come^G2064^(G5627) where^G3699 Jesus^G2424 was^G2258^(G5713), and saw^G1492^(G5631) him^G846, she fell down^G4098^(G5627) at^G1519 his^G846 feet^G4228, saying^G3004^(G5723) unto him^G846, Lord^G2962, if^G1487 thou hadst been^G2258^(G5713) here^G5602, my^G3450 brother^G80 had^G302 not^G3756 died^G599^(G5627).

³³ When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,

KJVWhen^G5613 Jesus^G2424 therefore^G3767 saw^G1492^(G5627) her^G846 weeping^G2799^(G5723), and^G2532 the Jews^G2453 also weeping^G2799^(G5723) which came^G4905^(G5631) with her^G846, he groaned^G1690^(G5662) in the spirit^G4151, and^G2532 was troubled^G5015^(G5656)^G1438,

³⁴ and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Where^G4226 have ye laid^G5087^(G5758) him^G846? They said^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Lord^G2962, come^G2064^(G5736) and^G2532 see^G1492^(G5657).

³⁵ Jesus wept.

KJVJesus^G2424 wept^G1145^(G5656).

³⁶ The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G3004^(G5707) the Jews^G2453, Behold^G2396 how^G4459 he loved^G5368^(G5707) him^G846!

³⁷ Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

KJVAnd^G1161 some^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846 said^G2036^(G5627), Could^G1410^(G5711) not^G3756 this man^G3778, which^G3588 opened^G455^(G5660) the eyes^G3788 of the blind^G5185, have caused^G4160^(G5658) that^G2443 even^G2532 this man^G3778 should^G599 not^G3361 have died^G599^(G5632)?

³⁸ Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

KJVJesus^G2424 therefore^G3767 again^G3825 groaning^G1690^(G5740) in^G1722 himself^G1438 cometh^G2064^(G5736) to^G1519 the grave^G3419.^G1161 It was^G2258^(G5713) a cave^G4693, and^G2532 a stone^G3037 lay^G1945^(G5711) upon^G1909 it^G846.

³⁹ Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

KJVJesus^G2424 said^G3004^(G5719), Take ye away^G142^(G5657) the stone^G3037. Martha^G3136, the sister^G79 of him that was dead^G2348^(G5761), saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Lord^G2962, by this time^G2235 he stinketh^G3605^(G5719): for^G1063 he hath been^G2076^(G5748) dead four days^G5066.

⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, Said I^G2036^(G5627) not^G3756 unto thee^G4671, that^G3754, if^G1437 thou wouldest believe^G4100^(G5661), thou shouldest see^G3700^(G5695) the glory^G1391 of God^G2316?

⁴¹ So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

KJVThen^G3767 they took away^G142^(G5656) the stone^G3037 from the place where^G3757 the dead^G2348^(G5761) was^G2258^(G5713) laid^G2749^(G5740). And^G1161 Jesus^G2424 lifted^G142^(G5656) up^G507 his eyes^G3788, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Father^G3962, I thank^G2168^(G5719) thee^G4671 that^G3754 thou hast heard^G191^(G5656) me^G3450.

⁴² I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”

KJVAnd^G1161 I^G1473 knew^G1492^(G5715) that^G3754 thou hearest^G191^(G5719) me^G3450 always^G3842: but^G235 because^G1223 of the people^G3793 which^G3588 stand by^G4026^(G5761) I said^G2036^(G5627) it, that^G2443 they may believe^G4100^(G5661) that^G3754 thou^G4771 hast sent^G649^(G5656) me^G3165.

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

KJVAnd^G2532 when he thus^G5023 had spoken^G2036^(G5631), he cried^G2905^(G5656) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, Lazarus^G2976, come^G1204^(G5773) forth^G1854.

⁴⁴ He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he that was dead^G2348^(G5761) came forth^G1831^(G5627), bound^G1210^(G5772) hand^G5495 and^G2532 foot^G4228 with graveclothes^G2750: and^G2532 his^G846 face^G3799 was bound about^G4019^(G5718) with a napkin^G4676. Jesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Loose^G3089^(G5657) him^G846, and^G2532 let him^G863^(G5628) go^G5217^(G5721).

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

KJVThen^G3767 many^G4183 of^G1537 the Jews^G2453 which^G3588 came^G2064^(G5631) to^G4314 Mary^G3137, and^G2532 had seen^G2300^(G5666) the things which^G3739 Jesus^G2424 did^G4160^(G5656), believed^G4100^(G5656) on^G1519 him^G846.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

KJVBut^G1161 some^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846 went their ways^G565^(G5627) to^G4314 the Pharisees^G5330, and^G2532 told^G2036^(G5627) them^G846 what things^G3739 Jesus^G2424 had done^G4160^(G5656).

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

KJVThen^G3767 gathered^G4863^(G5627) the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the Pharisees^G5330 a council^G4892, and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5707), What^G5101 do we^G4160^(G5719)? for^G3754 this^G3778 man^G444 doeth^G4160^(G5719) many^G4183 miracles^G4592.

⁴⁸ If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

KJVIf^G1437 we let^G863 him^G846 thus^G3779 alone^G863^(G5632), all^G3956 men will believe^G4100^(G5692) on^G1519 him^G846: and^G2532 the Romans^G4514 shall come^G2064^(G5695) and^G2532 take away^G142^(G5692) both^G2532 our^G2257 place^G5117 and^G2532 nation^G1484.

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

KJVAnd^G1161 one^G1520^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846, named Caiaphas^G2533, being^G5607^(G5752) the high priest^G749 that same^G1565 year^G1763, said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Ye^G5210 know^G1492^(G5758) nothing at all^G3756^G3762,

⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

KJVNor^G3761 consider^G1260^(G5736) that^G3754 it is expedient^G4851^(G5719) for us^G2254, that^G2443 one^G1520 man^G444 should die^G599^(G5632) for^G5228 the people^G2992, and^G2532 that the whole^G3650 nation^G1484 perish^G622^(G5643) not^G3361.

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G5124 spake he^G2036^(G5627) not^G3756 of^G575 himself^G1438: but^G235 being^G5607^(G5752) high priest^G749 that^G1565 year^G1763, he prophesied^G4395^(G5656) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 should^G3195^(G5707) die^G599^(G5721) for that^G5228 nation^G1484;

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

KJVAnd^G2532 not^G3756 for that^G5228 nation^G1484 only^G3440, but^G235 that^G2443 also^G2532 he should gather together^G4863^(G5632) in^G1519 one^G1520 the children^G5043 of God^G2316 that were scattered abroad^G1287^(G5772).

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

KJVThen^G3767 from^G575 that^G1565 day^G2250 forth they took counsel together^G4823^(G5668) for to^G2443 put^G615 him^G846 to death^G615^(G5725).

⁵⁴ Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

KJVJesus^G2424 therefore^G3767 walked^G4043^(G5707) no more^G3765 openly^G3954 among^G1722 the Jews^G2453; but^G235 went^G565^(G5627) thence^G1564 unto^G1519 a country^G5561 near^G1451 to the wilderness^G2048, into^G1519 a city^G4172 called^G3004^(G5746) Ephraim^G2187, and there^G2546 continued^G1304^(G5707) with^G3326 his^G846 disciples^G3101.

⁵⁵ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

KJVAnd^G1161 the Jews^G2453' passover^G3957 was^G2258^(G5713) nigh at hand^G1451: and^G2532 many^G4183 went^G305^(G5627) out of^G1537 the country^G5561 up^G1519 to Jerusalem^G2414 before^G4253 the passover^G3957, to^G2443 purify^G48^(G5661) themselves^G1438.

⁵⁶ Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”

KJVThen^G3767 sought they for^G2212^(G5707) Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 spake^G3004^(G5707) among^G3326 themselves^G240, as they stood^G2476^(G5761) in^G1722 the temple^G2411, What^G5101 think^G1380^(G5719) ye^G5213, that^G3754 he will^G2064 not^G3364 come^G2064^(G5632) to^G1519 the feast^G1859?

⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

KJVNow^G1161 both^G2532 the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 the Pharisees^G5330 had given^G1325^(G5715) a commandment^G1785, that^G2443, if^G1437 any man^G5100 knew^G1097^(G5632) where^G4226 he were^G2076^(G5748), he should shew^G3377^(G5661) it, that^G3704 they might take^G4084^(G5661) him^G846.

WEB·John 10

¹“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.

KJVVerily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, He that entereth^G1525^(G5740) not^G3361 by^G1223 the door^G2374 into^G1519 the sheepfold^G4263^G833, but^G235 climbeth up^G305^(G5723) some other way^G237, the same^G1565 is^G2076^(G5748) a thief^G2812 and^G2532 a robber^G3027.

² But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

KJVBut^G1161 he that entereth in^G1525^(G5740) by^G1223 the door^G2374 is^G2076^(G5748) the shepherd^G4166 of the sheep^G4263.

³ The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

KJVTo him^G5129 the porter^G2377 openeth^G455^(G5719); and^G2532 the sheep^G4263 hear^G191^(G5719) his^G846 voice^G5456: and^G2532 he calleth^G2564^(G5719) his own^G2398 sheep^G4263 by^G2596 name^G3686, and^G2532 leadeth^G1806 them^G846 out^G1806^(G5719).

⁴ Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3752 he putteth forth^G1544^(G5632) his own^G2398 sheep^G4263, he goeth^G4198^(G5736) before^G1715 them^G846, and^G2532 the sheep^G4263 follow^G190^(G5719) him^G846: for^G3754 they know^G1492^(G5758) his^G846 voice^G5456.

⁵ They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”

KJVAnd^G1161 a stranger^G245 will they^G190 not^G3364 follow^G190^(G5661), but^G235 will flee^G5343^(G5695) from^G575 him^G846: for^G3754 they know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 the voice^G5456 of strangers^G245.

⁶ Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

KJVThis^G5026 parable^G3942 spake^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 unto them^G846: but^G1161 they^G1565 understood^G1097^(G5627) not^G3756 what things^G5101 they were^G2258^(G5713) which^G3739 he spake^G2980^(G5707) unto them^G846.

⁷ Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 unto them^G846 again^G3825, Verily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213,^G3754 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) the door^G2374 of the sheep^G4263.

⁸ All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

KJVAll^G3956 that ever^G3745 came^G2064^(G5627) before^G4253 me^G1700 are^G1526^(G5748) thieves^G2812 and^G2532 robbers^G3027: but^G235 the sheep^G4263 did^G191 not^G3756 hear^G191^(G5656) them^G846.

⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.

KJVI^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) the door^G2374: by^G1223 me^G1700 if^G1437 any man^G5100 enter in^G1525^(G5632), he shall be saved^G4982^(G5701), and^G2532 shall go in^G1525^(G5695) and^G2532 out^G1831^(G5695), and^G2532 find^G2147^(G5692) pasture^G3542.

¹⁰ The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

KJVThe thief^G2812 cometh^G2064^(G5736) not^G3756, but^G1508 for to^G2443 steal^G2813^(G5661), and^G2532 to kill^G2380^(G5661), and^G2532 to destroy^G622^(G5661): I^G1473 am come^G2064^(G5627) that^G2443 they might have^G2192^(G5725) life^G2222, and^G2532 that they might have^G2192^(G5725) it more abundantly^G4053.

¹¹ “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

KJVI^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) the good^G2570 shepherd^G4166: the good^G2570 shepherd^G4166 giveth^G5087^(G5719) his^G846 life^G5590 for^G5228 the sheep^G4263.

¹² He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.

KJVBut^G1161 he that is^G5607^(G5752) an hireling^G3411, and^G2532 not^G3756 the shepherd^G4166, whose^G3739 own^G2398 the sheep^G4263 are^G1526^(G5748) not^G3756, seeth^G2334^(G5719) the wolf^G3074 coming^G2064^(G5740), and^G2532 leaveth^G863^(G5719) the sheep^G4263, and^G2532 fleeth^G5343^(G5719): and^G2532 the wolf^G3074 catcheth^G726^(G5719) them^G846, and^G2532 scattereth^G4650^(G5719) the sheep^G4263.

¹³ The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.

KJV^G1161 The hireling^G3411 fleeth^G5343^(G5719), because^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748) an hireling^G3411, and^G2532^G846 careth^G3199^(G5719) not^G3756 for^G4012 the sheep^G4263.

¹⁴ I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

KJVI^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) the good^G2570 shepherd^G4166, and^G2532 know^G1097^(G5719) my^G1699 sheep, and^G2532 am known^G1097^(G5743) of^G5259 mine^G1699.

¹⁵ even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

KJVAs^G2531 the Father^G3962 knoweth^G1097^(G5719) me^G3165, even so^G2504 know^G1097^(G5719) I^G2504 the Father^G3962: and^G2532 I lay down^G5087^(G5719) my^G3450 life^G5590 for^G5228 the sheep^G4263.

¹⁶ I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

KJVAnd^G2532 other^G243 sheep^G4263 I have^G2192^(G5719), which^G3739 are^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 of^G1537 this^G5026 fold^G833: them also^G2548 I^G3165 must^G1163^(G5748) bring^G71^(G5629), and^G2532 they shall hear^G191^(G5692) my^G3450 voice^G5456; and^G2532 there shall be^G1096^(G5695) one^G3391 fold^G4167, and one^G1520 shepherd^G4166.

¹⁷ Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

KJVTherefore^G5124^G1223 doth^G25 my Father^G3962 love^G25^(G5719) me^G3165, because^G3754 I^G1473 lay down^G5087^(G5719) my^G3450 life^G5590, that^G2443 I might take^G2983^(G5632) it^G846 again^G3825.

¹⁸ No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”

KJVNo man^G3762 taketh^G142^(G5719) it^G846 from^G575 me^G1700, but^G235 I^G1473 lay^G5087 it^G846 down^G5087^(G5719) of^G575 myself^G1683. I have^G2192^(G5719) power^G1849 to lay^G5087 it^G846 down^G5087^(G5629), and^G2532 I have^G2192^(G5719) power^G1849 to take^G2983^(G5629) it^G846 again^G3825. This^G5026 commandment^G1785 have I received^G2983^(G5627) of^G3844 my^G3450 Father^G3962.

¹⁹ Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

KJVThere was^G1096^(G5633) a division^G4978 therefore^G3767 again^G3825 among^G1722 the Jews^G2453 for^G1223 these^G5128 sayings^G3056.

²⁰ Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”

KJVAnd^G1161 many^G4183 of^G1537 them^G846 said^G3004^(G5707), He hath^G2192^(G5719) a devil^G1140, and^G2532 is mad^G3105^(G5736); why^G5101 hear ye^G191^(G5719) him^G846?

²¹ Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”

KJVOthers^G243 said^G3004^(G5707), These^G5023 are^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 the words^G4487 of him that hath a devil^G1139^(G5740). Can^G3361^G1410^(G5736) a devil^G1140 open^G455^(G5721) the eyes^G3788 of the blind^G5185?

²² It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G1161 it was^G1096^(G5633) at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2414 the feast of the dedication^G1456, and^G2532 it was^G2258^(G5713) winter^G5494.

²³ It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 walked^G4043^(G5707) in^G1722 the temple^G2411 in^G1722 Solomon's^G4672 porch^G4745.

²⁴ The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

KJVThen^G3767 came^G2944 the Jews^G2453 round about^G2944^(G5656) him^G846, and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5707) unto him^G846, How long^G2193^G4219 dost thou make^G142^(G5719) us^G2257 to doubt^G5590? If^G1487 thou^G4771 be^G1488^(G5748) the Christ^G5547, tell^G2036^(G5628) us^G2254 plainly^G3954.

²⁵ Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846, I told^G2036^(G5627) you^G5213, and^G2532 ye believed^G4100^(G5719) not^G3756: the works^G2041 that^G3739 I^G1473 do^G4160^(G5719) in^G1722 my^G3450 Father's^G3962 name^G3686, they^G5023 bear witness^G3140^(G5719) of^G4012 me^G1700.

²⁶ But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

KJVBut^G235 ye^G5210 believe^G4100^(G5719) not^G3756, because^G1063 ye are^G2075^(G5748) not^G3756 of^G1537 my^G1699 sheep^G4263, as^G2531 I said^G2036^(G5627) unto you^G5213.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

KJVMy^G1699 sheep^G4263 hear^G191^(G5719) my^G3450 voice^G5456, and I^G2504 know^G1097^(G5719) them^G846, and^G2532 they follow^G190^(G5719) me^G3427:

²⁸ I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

KJVAnd I^G2504 give^G1325^(G5719) unto them^G846 eternal^G166 life^G2222; and^G2532 they shall^G622 never^G3364^G1519^G165 perish^G622^(G5643), neither^G2532^G3756 shall^G726 any^G5100 man pluck^G726^(G5692) them^G846 out of^G1537 my^G3450 hand^G5495.

²⁹ My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

KJVMy^G3450 Father^G3962, which^G3739 gave^G1325^(G5758) them me^G3427, is^G2076^(G5748) greater than^G3187 all^G3956; and^G2532 no^G3762 man is able^G1410^(G5736) to pluck^G726^(G5721) them out of^G1537 my^G3450 Father's^G3962 hand^G5495.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

KJVI^G1473 and^G2532 my Father^G3962 are^G2070^(G5748) one^G1520.

³¹ Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

KJVThen^G3767 the Jews^G2453 took up^G941^(G5656) stones^G3037 again^G3825 to^G2443 stone^G3034^(G5661) him^G846.

³² Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846, Many^G4183 good^G2570 works^G2041 have I shewed^G1166^(G5656) you^G5213 from^G1537 my^G3450 Father^G3962; for^G1223 which^G4169 of those^G846 works^G2041 do ye stone^G3034^(G5719) me^G3165?

³³ The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

KJVThe Jews^G2453 answered^G611^(G5662) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), For^G4012 a good^G2570 work^G2041 we stone^G3034^(G5719) thee^G4571 not^G3756; but^G235 for^G4012 blasphemy^G988; and^G2532 because^G3754 that thou^G4771, being^G5607^(G5752) a man^G444, makest^G4160^(G5719) thyself^G4572 God^G2316.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846, Is it^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 written^G1125^(G5772) in^G1722 your^G5216 law^G3551, I^G1473 said^G2036^(G5656), Ye are^G2075^(G5748) gods^G2316?

³⁵ If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),

KJVIf^G1487 he called^G2036^(G5627) them^G1565 gods^G2316, unto^G4314 whom^G3739 the word^G3056 of God^G2316 came^G1096^(G5633), and^G2532 the scripture^G1124 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) be broken^G3089^(G5683);

³⁶ do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

KJVSay^G3004^(G5719) ye^G5210 of him, whom^G3739 the Father^G3962 hath sanctified^G37^(G5656), and^G2532 sent^G649^(G5656) into^G1519 the world^G2889,^G3754 Thou blasphemest^G987^(G5719); because^G3754 I said^G2036^(G5627), I am^G1510^(G5748) the Son^G5207 of God^G2316?

³⁷ If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.

KJVIf^G1487 I do^G4160^(G5719) not^G3756 the works^G2041 of my^G3450 Father^G3962, believe^G4100^(G5720) me^G3427 not^G3361.

³⁸ But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 I do^G4160^(G5719), though^G2579 ye believe^G4100^(G5725) not^G3361 me^G1698, believe^G4100^(G5657) the works^G2041: that^G2443 ye may know^G1097^(G5632), and^G2532 believe^G4100^(G5661), that^G3754 the Father^G3962 is in^G1722 me^G1698, and I^G2504 in^G1722 him^G846.
