John 10:1-42 Verelye verelye I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by the dore, into the shepe folde: but climmeth vp some other waye, the same is a thefe and a robber.

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Verelye verelye I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by the dore, into the shepe folde: but climmeth vp some other waye, the same is a thefe and a robber. ² He that goeth in by the dore, is the shepeherde of the shepe, ³ to him the porter openeth, and the shepe heare hys voyce, and he calleth hys owne shepe by name, and leadeth them oute. ⁴ And when he hath sente forth hys owne shepe, he goeth before them, and the shepe folowe hym, for they knowe hys voyce. ⁵ A straunger they wyll not folowe, but wyll flye from hym, for they know not the voyce of straungers. ⁶ Thys similitude spake Iesus vnto them: But they vnderstode not what thynges they were whiche he spake vnto them. ⁷ Then Iesus sayed vnto them agayne Verelye I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe. ⁸ Al, euen as manye as came before me, are theues and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them. ⁹ I am the dore: by me yf any man enter in, he shalbe safe, and shall go in & oute, and fynde pasture. ¹⁰ The thefe cometh not, but for to steale, kyll, and destroye. I am come, that they might haue lyfe, and haue it more aboundauntlye. ¹¹ I am the good shepeherde. The good shepe herde geueth hys lyfe for the shepe. ¹² An hyred, seruaunte, which is not the shepeherde, neyther the shepe are hys own, seeth the wolfe commynge, and leaueth the shepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, & scatiereth the shepe. ¹³ The hyred seruaunte fleeth, because he is an hyred seruaunte, and careth not for the shepe. ¹⁴ I am that good shepeherde, and knowe myne and am knowen of myne. ¹⁵ As my father knoweth me, euen so knowe I my father. And I geue my lyfe for the shepe: ¹⁶ and other shepe I haue whiche are not of thys folde. Them also muste I brynge that they maye heare my voyce, and that there maye be one flocke, and one shepeherde. ¹⁷ Therfore doth my father loue me, because I put my lyfe from me, that I myght take it agayne. ¹⁸ Noman taketh it from me, but I put it awaye of my selfe. I haue power to put it from me, and haue power to take it agayne. Thys commaundemente haue I receyued of my father. ¹⁹ And there was a dissencyon agayne among the Iewes for these saiynges, ²⁰ & many of them sayd: he hath the deuil, and is madde: why heare ye hym? ²¹ Other sayd: these are not the wordes of hym that hath the deuyll. Can the deuyll open the eyes of the blynde? ²² And it was at Hierusalem the feaste of the dedicacion of the temple, and it was wynter, ²³ & Iesus walked in Solomons porche. ²⁴ Then came the Iewes rounde about hym, & sayed vnto hym: Howe longe dost thou make vs doubte? Yf thou be Christe, tell vs playnely. ²⁵ Iesus aunswered them: I tolde you, and ye beleue not. The workes that I do in my fathers name, then beare witnes of me. ²⁶ But ye beleue not because ye are not of my shepe. As I said vnto you: ²⁷ my shepe heare my voice, & I know them, and they folowe me, ²⁸ and I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shall neuer perish neyther shall any man plucke them out of my hande. ²⁹ My father whiche gaue them me, is greater then all, and no man is able to take them out of my fathers hande. ³⁰ And I and my father are one. ³¹ Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones to stone hym with all. ³² Iesus aunswered them: manye good workes haue I shewed you from my father: for whiche of them wyll ye stone me? ³³ The Iewes aunswered him, saiynge: For thy good workes sake we stone the not, but for thy blasphemye, and because that thou beynge a man, makest thy selfe God. ³⁴ Iesus aunswered them: is it not wrytten in youre lawe. I saye: ye are Goddes? ³⁵ Yf he called them Goddes vnto whom the worde of God was spoken (& the scripture can not be broken) ³⁶ saye ye then to hym, whom the father hath sanctifyed, & sent into the worlde, thou blasphemest, because I sayed. I am the sonne of God? ³⁷ yf I do not the workes of my father, beleue me not. ³⁸ But yf I do: then thoughe ye beleue not me, yet beleue the workes, that ye maye knowe and beleue, that the father is in me, and I in hym. ³⁹ Agayne they went about to take hym: but he escaped out of theyr handes, ⁴⁰ and went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan, into the place where Iohn before had baptysed, and there abode. ⁴¹ And manye resorted vnto hym, & sayed: Iohn dyd no myracle, but all thynges that Iohn spake of thys man, are true. ⁴² And manye beleued on hym there.
