Chapter 10

KJV: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Geneva: Verely, verely I say vnto you, Hee that entreth not in by the doore into the sheepefolde, but climeth vp another way, he is a theefe and a robber.

KJV: But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Geneva: But he that goeth in by the doore, is the shepheard of the sheepe.

KJV: To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

Geneva: To him the porter openeth, & the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out.

KJV: And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

Geneva: And when hee hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce.

KJV: And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Geneva: And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voyce of strangers.

KJV: This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

Geneva: This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstoode not what things they were which he spake vnto them.

KJV: Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

Geneva: Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe.

KJV: All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

Geneva: All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them.

KJV: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Geneva: I am that doore: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall go in, and go out, and finde pasture.

KJV: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Geneva: The theefe commeth not, but for to steale, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and haue it in abundance.

KJV: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Geneva: I am that good shepheard: that good shepheard giueth his life for his sheepe.

KJV: But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

Geneva: But an hireling, and hee which is not the shepheard, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe comming, and hee leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, and scattreth the sheepe.

KJV: The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

Geneva: So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheepe.

KJV: I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

Geneva: I am that good shepheard, & knowe mine, and am knowen of mine.

KJV: As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Geneva: As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay downe my life for my sheepe.

KJV: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Geneva: Other sheepe I haue also, which are not of this folde: them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce: and there shalbe one sheepefolde, and one shepheard.

KJV: Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

Geneva: Therefore doeth my Father loue me, because I lay downe my life, that I might take it againe.

KJV: No man taketh it 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 have I received of my Father.

Geneva: No man taketh it from me, but I lay it downe of my selfe: I haue power to lay it downe, and haue power to take it againe: this commandement haue I receiued of my Father.

KJV: There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

Geneva: Then there was a dissension againe among the Iewes for these sayings,

KJV: And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

Geneva: And many of them sayd, He hath a deuill, and is mad: why heare ye him?

KJV: Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

Geneva: Other sayd, These are not the wordes of him that hath a deuill: can the deuill open the eyes of the blinde?

Geneva: Then came the Iewes round about him, and sayd vnto him, Howe long doest thou make vs dout? If thou be that Christ, tell vs plainely.

KJV: Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

Geneva: Iesus answered them, I tolde you, and ye beleeue not: the workes that I doe in my Fathers Name, they beare witnes of me.

KJV: But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

Geneva: But ye beleeue not: for ye are not of my sheepe, as I sayd vnto you.

KJV: My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Geneva: My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they follow me,

KJV: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Geneva: And I giue vnto them eternall life, & they shall neuer perish, neither shall any plucke them out of mine hand.

KJV: My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

Geneva: My Father which gaue them me, is greater then all, and none is able to take them out of my Fathers hand.

KJV: I and my Father are one.

Geneva: I and my Father are one.

KJV: Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

Geneva: Then ye Iewes againe tooke vp stones, to stone him.

KJV: Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

Geneva: Iesus answered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my Father: for which of these workes doe ye stone me?

KJV: The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Geneva: The Iewes answered him, saying, For the good worke we stone thee not, but for blasphemie, and that thou being a man, makest thy selfe God.

KJV: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

Geneva: Iesus answered them, Is it not written in your Lawe, I sayd, Ye are gods?

KJV: If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

Geneva: If hee called them gods, vnto whome the worde of God was giuen, and the Scripture cannot be broken,

KJV: Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Geneva: Say ye of him, whome the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the worlde, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Sonne of God?

KJV: If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

Geneva: If I doe not the workes of my Father, beleeue me not.

KJV: But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Geneva: But if I doe, then though ye beleeue not mee, yet beleeue the workes, that ye may knowe and beleeue, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
