| John 10:1 | Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. | Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw. | "In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, is a thief and a robber. |
| John 10:2 | But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. | He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep. | But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. |
| John 10:3 | To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. | The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out. | To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out. |
| John 10:4 | When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. | When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice. | When he has brought out his own sheep all of them he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. |
| John 10:5 | And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. | They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them. | But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers." |
| John 10:6 | This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. | In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them. | Jesus spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did not understand what He meant. |
| John 10:7 | Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. | So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. | Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep. |
| John 10:8 | All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. | All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them. | All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not listen to them. |
| John 10:9 | I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. | I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food. | I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture. |
| John 10:10 | The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly. | The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure. | The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance. |
| John 10:11 | I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. | I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep. | "I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep. |
| John 10:12 | He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]: | He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions: | The hired servant one who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them. |
| John 10:13 | [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. | Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep. | For he is only a hired servant and cares nothing for the sheep. |
| John 10:14 | I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me, | I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me, | "I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me, |
| John 10:15 | even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. | Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep. | just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep. |
| John 10:16 | And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd. | And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper. | I have also other sheep which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd. |
| John 10:17 | Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. | For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again. | For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again. |
| John 10:18 | No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father. | No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father. | No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father." |

| John 10:21 | Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? | Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see? | Others argued, "That is not the language of a demoniac: and can a demon open blind men's eyes?" |

| John 10:24 | The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. | Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly. | when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly." |
| John 10:25 | Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. | Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me. | "I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name they give testimony about me. |

| John 10:27 | My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: | My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me: | My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. |
| John 10:28 | and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. | And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand. | I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand. |
| John 10:29 | My Father, who hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father's hand. | That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand. | What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand. |

"Many good deeds," He said, "have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?" |
| John 10:33 | The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. | This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God. | "For no good deed," the Jews replied, "are we going to stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God." |

| John 10:35 | If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken), | If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken), | If those to whom God's word was addressed are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled), |

| John 10:37 | If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. | If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me; | If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me. |
