John 10:20–28

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
¶ And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
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.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

    17¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

    18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

    19Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

    20For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

    21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

    22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

    23That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

    24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

    25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

    26For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

    27And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

    28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

    29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

    30I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

    31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

    32¶ There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

    33Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

    34But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

    35He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

    36¶ But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

    37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

    38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

    39¶ Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

    40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

    41I receive not honour from men.

    42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

    43I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
