John 10:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Jesus said, "It is certainly true that when a man enters the sheep pen, he should use the gate. If he climbs in some other way, he is a robber. He is trying to steal the sheep.
2 But the man who takes care of the sheep enters through the gate. He is the shepherd.
3 The man who guards the gate opens the gate for the shepherd. And the sheep listen to the voice of the shepherd. He calls his own sheep, using their names, and he leads them out.
4 He brings all of his sheep out. Then he goes ahead of them and leads them. The sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 But sheep will never follow someone they don't know. They will run away from him, because they don't know his voice."
6 Jesus told the people this story, but they did not understand what it meant.
7 So Jesus said again, "I assure you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8 All those who came before me were thieves and robbers. The sheep did not listen to them.
9 I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved. They will be able to come in and go out. They will find everything they need.
10 A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came to give life—life that is full and good.
11 "I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
12 The worker who is paid to keep the sheep is different from the shepherd. The paid worker does not own the sheep. So when he sees a wolf coming, he runs away and leaves the sheep alone. Then the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.
13 The man runs away because he is only a paid worker. He does not really care for the sheep.
14 "I am the shepherd who cares for the sheep. I know my sheep just as the Father knows me. And my sheep know me just as I know the Father. I give my life for these sheep.
15 vnumber="15">
16 I have other sheep too. They are not in this flock here. I must lead them also. They will listen to my voice. In the future there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 The Father loves me because I give my life. I give my life so that I can get it back again.
18 No one takes my life away from me. I give my own life freely. I have the right to give my life, and I have the right to get it back again. This is what the Father told me."
19 Again the Jews were divided over what Jesus was saying.
20 Many of them said, "A demon has come into him and made him crazy. Why listen to him?"
21 But others said, "These aren't the words of someone controlled by a demon. A demon cannot heal the eyes of a blind man."
22 It was winter, and the time came for the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 Jesus was in the Temple area at Solomon's Porch.
24 The Jewish leaders gathered around him. They said, "How long will you make us wonder about you? If you are the Christ, then tell us clearly."
25 Jesus answered, "I told you already, but you did not believe. I do miracles in my Father's name. These miracles show who I am.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.
27 My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
28 I give my sheep eternal life. They will never die, and no one can take them out of my hand.
29 My Father is the one who gave them to me, and he is greater than all. No one can steal my sheep out of his hand.
30 The Father and I are one."
31 Again the Jews there picked up stones to kill Jesus.
32 But he said to them, "The many wonderful things you have seen me do are from the Father. Which of these good things are you killing me for?"
33 They answered, "We are not killing you for any good thing you did. But you say things that insult God. You are only a man, but you say you are the same as God! That is why we are trying to kill you!"
34 Jesus answered, "It is written in your law that God said, 'I said you are gods.'
35 This Scripture called those people gods—the people who received God's message. And Scripture is always true.
36 So why do you accuse me of insulting God for saying, 'I am God's Son'? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.
37 If I don't do what my Father does, then don't believe what I say.
38 But if I do what my Father does, you should believe in what I do. You might not believe in me, but you should believe in the things I do. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
39 They tried to get Jesus again, but he escaped from them.
40 Then he went back across the Jordan River to the place where John began his work of baptizing people. Jesus stayed there,
41 and many people came to him. They said, "John never did any miraculous signs, but everything John said about this man is true."
42 And many people there believed in Jesus.
1 Verily G281 HEB , verily G281 HEB , I say G3004 V-PAI-1S unto you G5213 P-2DP , He G3588 T-NSM that G3588 T-NSM entereth G1525 V-PNP-NSM not G3361 PRT-N by G1223 PREP the G3588 T-GSF door G2374 N-GSF into G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASF sheepfold G833 N-ASF , but G235 CONJ climbeth up G305 V-PAP-NSM some other way G237 ADV , the same G1565 D-NSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S a thief G2812 N-NSM and G2532 CONJ a robber G3027 N-NSM .

5 And G1161 CONJ a stranger G245 A-DSM will they not G3364 follow G190 V-AAS-3P , but G235 CONJ will flee G5343 V-FDI-3P from G575 PREP him G846 P-GSM : for G3754 CONJ they know G1492 V-RAI-3P not G3756 PRT-N the G3588 T-ASF voice G5456 N-ASF of strangers G245 A-GPM .
6 This G3588 T-ASF parable G3942 N-ASF spake G2036 V-2AAI-3S Jesus G2424 N-NSM unto them G846 P-DPM : but G1161 CONJ they G1565 D-NPM understood G1097 V-2AAI-3P not G3756 PRT-N what things G5101 I-NPN they were G2258 V-IXI-3S which G3739 R-APN he spake G2980 V-IAI-3S unto them G846 P-DPM .

8 All G3956 A-NPM that G3745 K-NPM ever came G2064 V-2AAI-3P before G4253 me G1700 are G1526 V-PXI-3P thieves G2812 N-NPM and G2532 CONJ robbers G3027 N-NPM : but G235 CONJ the G3588 T-NPN sheep G4263 N-NPN did not G3756 PRT-N hear G191 V-AAI-3P them G846 P-GPM .
9 I G1473 P-1NS am G1510 V-PXI-1S the G3588 T-NSF door G2374 N-NSF : by G1223 PREP me G1700 P-1GS if G1437 COND any man G5100 X-NSM enter in G1525 V-2AAS-3S , he shall be saved G4982 V-FPI-3S , and G2532 CONJ shall go in G1525 V-FDI-3S and G2532 CONJ out G1831 V-FDI-3S , and G2532 CONJ find G2147 V-FAI-3S pasture G3542 N-ASF .
10 The G3588 T-NSM thief G2812 N-NSM cometh G2064 V-PNI-3S not G3756 PRT-N , but G1508 for to G2443 CONJ steal G2813 V-AAS-3S , and G2532 CONJ to kill G2380 V-AAS-3S , and G2532 CONJ to destroy G622 V-AAS-3S : I G1473 P-1NS am come G2064 V-2AAI-1S that G2443 CONJ they might have G2192 V-PAS-3P life G2222 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ that they might have G2192 V-PAS-3P it more abundantly G4053 ADV .
11 I G1473 P-1NS am G1510 V-PXI-1S the G3588 T-NSM good G2570 A-NSM shepherd G4166 N-NSM : the G3588 T-NSM good G2570 A-NSM shepherd G4166 N-NSM giveth G5087 V-PAI-3S his G3588 T-ASF life G5590 N-ASF for G5228 PREP the G3588 T-GPN sheep G4263 N-GPN .

13 The G3588 T-NSM hireling G3411 N-NSM fleeth G5343 V-PAI-3S , because G3754 CONJ he is G2076 V-PXI-3S a hireling G3411 N-NSM , and G2532 CONJ careth G3199 V-PQI-3S not G3756 PRT-N for G4012 PREP the G3588 T-GPN sheep G4263 N-GPN .
14 I G1473 P-1NS am G1510 V-PXI-1S the G3588 T-NSM good G2570 A-NSM shepherd G4166 N-NSM , and G2532 CONJ know G1097 V-PAI-1S my G1699 S-1APN sheep , and G2532 CONJ am known G1097 V-PPI-1S of G3588 T-GPN mine G1699 S-1GPN .

16 And G2532 CONJ other G243 A-APN sheep G4263 N-APN I have G2192 V-PAI-1S , which G3739 R-NPN are G2076 V-PXI-3S not G3756 PRT-N of G1537 PREP this G3588 T-GSF fold G833 N-GSF : them also G2548 D-NPN-C I G3165 P-1AS must G1163 V-PQI-3S bring G71 V-2AAN , and G2532 CONJ they shall hear G191 V-FAI-3P my G3588 T-GSF voice G5456 N-GSF ; and G2532 CONJ there shall be G1096 V-FDI-3S one G3391 fold G4167 N-NSF , and one G1520 A-NSF shepherd G4166 N-NSM .
17 Therefore G1223 PREP doth my Father G3962 N-NSM love G25 V-PAI-3S me G3165 P-1AS , because G3754 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS lay down G5087 V-PAI-1S my G3588 T-ASF life G5590 N-ASF , that G2443 CONJ I might take G2983 V-2AAS-1S it G846 P-ASF again G3825 ADV .

This G3588 T-ASF commandment G1785 N-ASF have I received G2983 V-2AAI-1S of G3844 PREP my G3588 T-GSM Father G3962 N-GSM .
19 There was G1096 V-2ADI-3S a division G4978 N-NSN therefore G3767 CONJ again G3825 ADV among G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DPM Jews G2453 A-DPM for G1223 PREP these G3588 T-APM sayings G3056 N-APM .
20 And G1161 CONJ many G4183 A-NPM of G1537 PREP them G846 P-GPM said G3004 V-IAI-3P , He hath G2192 V-PAI-3S a devil G1140 N-ASN , and G2532 CONJ is mad G3105 V-PNI-3S ; why G5101 I-ASN hear G191 V-PAI-2P ye him G846 P-GSM ?

24 Then G3767 CONJ came the Jews round about G2944 V-AAI-3P him G846 P-ASM , and G2532 CONJ said G3004 V-IAI-3P unto him G846 P-DSM , How long G2193 CONJ dost thou make us to doubt G142 V-PAI-2S ?

25 Jesus G2424 N-NSM answered G611 V-ADI-3S them G846 P-DPM , I told G2036 V-2AAI-1S you G5213 P-2DP , and G2532 CONJ ye believed G4100 V-PAI-2P not G3756 PRT-N : the G3588 T-NPN works G2041 N-NPN that G3739 R-APN I G1473 P-1NS do G4160 V-PAI-1S in G1722 PREP my G3588 T-GSM Father G3962 N-GSM \'s name G3686 N-DSN , they G5023 D-NPN bear witness G3140 V-PAI-3S of G4012 PREP me G1700 P-1GS .
26 But G235 CONJ ye G5210 P-2NP believe G4100 V-PAI-2P not G3756 PRT-N , because G1063 CONJ ye are G2075 V-PXI-2P not G3756 PRT-N of G3588 T-GPN my G3588 T-GPN sheep G4263 N-GPN , as G2531 ADV I said G2036 V-2AAI-1S unto you G5213 P-2DP .
