00:00Very truly, I tell you, Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in by
00:06some other way, is a thief and a robber.
00:10The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
00:13The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice.
00:18He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
00:23When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because
00:29they know his voice.
00:31But they will never follow a stranger.
00:34In fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice.
00:40Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees didn't understand what he was telling them.
00:45Therefore, Jesus said again, Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
00:53All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
00:59I am the gate.
01:01Whoever enters through me will be saved.
01:04They will come in and go out and find pasture.
01:08The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
01:13I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.
01:18I am the good shepherd.
01:20The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
01:23The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep.
01:27So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.
01:31Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
01:35The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
01:42I am the good shepherd.
01:44I know my sheep and my sheep know me.
01:48Just as the father knows me and I know the father.
01:51And I lay down my life for the sheep.
01:55I have other sheep that are not of this sheepfold.
01:57I must bring them also.
01:59They too will listen to my voice and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
02:06The reason my father loves me is that I lay down my life only to take it up again.
02:13No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.
02:18I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again.
02:23This command I received from my father.
02:27The Jews who heard these words were again divided.
02:30Many of them said, He is demon-possessed and raving mad.
02:34Why listen to him?
02:36But others said, These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon.
02:40Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
02:45Then came the festival of dedication at Jerusalem.
02:48It was winter and Jesus was in the temple courts, walking in Solomon's colonnade.
02:54The Jews who were there gathered round him, saying,
02:57How long will you keep us in suspense?
03:00If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.
03:04Jesus answered, I did tell you, but you did not believe.
03:09The works I do in my father's name testify about me.
03:12But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.
03:16My sheep listen to my voice.
03:18I know them, and they follow me.
03:21I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
03:24No one will snatch them out of my hand.
03:28My father, who has given them to me, is greater than all.
03:32No one can snatch them out of my father's hand.
03:36I and the father are one.
03:40Again, his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him.
03:44But Jesus said to them, I have shown you many good works from the father.
03:49For which of these do you stone me?
03:53We are not stoning you for any good work, they replied,
03:56but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.
04:02Jesus answered them,
04:04Is it not written in your law,
04:06I have said you are gods?
04:09If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came,
04:13and scripture cannot be set aside,
04:15what about the one whom the father set apart,
04:17as his very own, and sent into the world?
04:21Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy,
04:23because I said, I am God's son?
04:27Do not believe me unless I do the works of my father.
04:30But if I do them,
04:32even though you do not believe me,
04:34believe the works,
04:35that you may know and understand that the father is in me,
04:38and I in the father.
04:41Again they tried to seize him,
04:43but he escaped their grasp.
04:46Then Jesus went back across the Jordan
04:48to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days.
04:52There he stayed, and many people came to him.
04:54They said,
04:56Though John never performed a sign,
04:58all that John said about this man was true.
05:02And in that place,
05:03many believed in Jesus.
