10:1  “Timeless truth I speak with you: whoever enters not by the gate to the sheepfold, but comes up from another place, is a thief and a robber.”
10:2  “He who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the flock;”
10:3  “To this one the gate keeper opens the gate and the flock hears his voice; he calls his sheep by their names and leads them out.
10:4  And when he has brought forth his flock, he goes before it and his own sheep go after him, because they know his voice.
10:5  But the flock goes not after a stranger, but flees from him, for it does not know a stranger's voice.”
10:6  Yeshua spoke this allegory to them, but they did not know what he was speaking with them.
10:7  But again Yeshua said to them, “Timeless truth I speak to you; I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Gate of the flock.”
10:8  “And all who had come were thieves and robbers, but the flock did not hear them.”
10:9  “I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Gate; if anyone will enter by me, he shall live and shall go in and out and shall find the pasture.”
10:10  “But a thief does not come except to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have whatever is abundant.”
10:11  “I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for his flock.”
10:12  “But a hired man who is not a shepherd, whenever he may see a wolf coming, leaves the flock and runs.”
10:13  “But a hired man runs because he is a hired man, and cares not about the flock, and a wolf comes snatching at and scattering the flock.”
10:14  “I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Good Shepherd. I know mine and am known by mine.”
10:15  “Just as my Father knows me and I know my Father, and I lay down my life for the flock's sake.”
10:16  “But I have other sheep which were not from this fold; I must also bring them. They also will hear my voice, and the entire fold shall be one, and One Shepherd.”
10:17  “Because of this my Father delights in me, because I am laying down my life that I may receive it again.”
10:18  “No man takes it from me; I am laying it down of my own will, for I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it again; this commandment I have received from my Father.”
10:19  And again there was a division among the Judeans because of these words.
10:20  And many among them were saying, “There is a demon in him and he is raving mad, why are you listening to him?”
10:21  But the others were saying, “These are not the words of one who is possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
10:22  But it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem and it was winter.
10:23  And Yeshua was walking in The Temple on the porch of Solomon.
10:24  And the Judeans surrounded him and were saying, “How long will you keep our souls in suspense? If you are The Messiah, tell us plainly.”
10:25  Yeshua 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, they testify of Me.”
10:26  “But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, just as I said to you.”
10:27  “My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow Me.”
10:28  “And I am giving them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them from my hand.”
10:29  “My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch anything from my Father's hand.”
10:30  “I and my Father, We are One.”
10:31  And the Judeans picked up stones again to stone him.
10:32  And Yeshua said to them, “Many excellent works from the presence of my Father I have shown you. For which of those works are you stoning me?”
10:33  The Judeans were saying to him, “It is not for excellent works that we are stoning you, but because you blaspheme, and as you are a man, you make yourself God.”
10:34  Yeshua said to them, “Is it not written in your law, 'I have said, “You are gods”'?”
10:35  “If he called those men gods because The Word of God was with them and the scripture cannot be destroyed”,
10:36  “Are you saying to The One whom The Father sanctified and sent into the world, “You blaspheme”, because I said to you, 'I am The Son of God?”
10:37  “If I am not doing the works of my Father, you should not believe me”,
10:38  “But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe those deeds, so that you may know and that you may believe that my Father is in me and I in my Father.”
10:39  And they again sought to seize him, and he escaped from their hands.
10:40  And he went on to the crossing of The Jordan, to the place where Yohannan had been before when he was baptizing, and there he stayed.
10:41  And many people came to him and were saying, “Yohannan did not even one miracle, but everything that Yohannan had said about This Man is true.”
10:42  And many believed in him.
