1For real, for real, if you don’t roll in through the door to the sheep pen, but try to sneak in another way, you’re just a thief, no cap.

2But if you come in through the door, you’re the goated shepherd of the sheep.

3The gatekeeper opens up for him; the sheep hear his rizz, and he calls them by name and leads them out.

4When he brings out his own sheep, he goes ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice, fr.

5They won’t follow a stranger; they’ll bounce because they don’t vibe with the voice of strangers.

6Jesus dropped this parable on them, but they were totally lost on what he meant, fr.

7Then Jesus was like, “For real, I’m the door for the sheep.”

8Everyone who came before me was just a thief and a robber, but the sheep weren’t having it.

9I’m the door; if anyone rolls in through me, they’ll be saved and can vibe in and out, finding good pastures.

10The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy; I came so they could live their best life, like, for real.

11I'm the good shepherd, fr. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep, no cap.

12But the hireling, who ain't really the shepherd, sees the wolf coming and dips, leaving the sheep to get wrecked.

13The hireling bounces 'cause he’s just a hireling and doesn’t care about the sheep, sus.

14I'm the good shepherd, I know my sheep, and they know me, periodt.

15Just like the Father knows me, I know the Father, and I'm here to lay down my life for the sheep, bet.

16I got other sheep that aren't in this crew, and I gotta bring them too; they'll hear my voice, and we'll all be one squad with one shepherd.

17That's why my Father loves me, 'cause I lay down my life to pick it back up, lit.

18No one takes it from me; I drop it myself. I got the power to lay it down and to take it back, no cap. My Father gave me this command.

19So there was drama among the Jews over what I just said, fr.

20A bunch of them were like, "He's got a devil and is wild; why are you even listening to him?"

21Some peeps were like, "This guy ain't sus, right? Can a devil even open blind eyes?"

22So, it was in Jerusalem for the dedication feast, and yeah, it was winter vibes.

23Jesus was just chillin' in the temple on Solomon's porch, vibin'.

24Then the Jews rolled up to him, asking, "How long you gonna keep us guessing? If you’re the Christ, just spill it."

25Jesus was like, "I already told you, but y'all didn’t believe. The things I do in my Father’s name? They’re proof, no cap."

26"But you don’t believe, 'cause you ain't part of my squad, like I said."

27"My squad hears my voice, and I know them, and they be following me, fr."

28"I give them eternal life; they ain't gonna fade away, and nobody can snatch them from my grip."

29"My Father, who gave them to me, is way greater than all; no one can take them outta my Father’s hands, periodt."

30"Me and my Father, we’re one, no doubt."

31The Jews were like, "Time to throw hands again," and picked up stones to throw at him.

32Jesus was like, "I’ve shown you mad good vibes from my Dad; which of those vibes got me in trouble?"

33The Jews shot back, "We ain't stoning you for good stuff, but for being sus and claiming you’re God, fam."

34Jesus hit them with, "Ain't it written in your own law, ‘Ye are gods’?"

35If God called them gods, and His word is solid, you can't just ignore that, fr.

36So you’re saying the one the Father blessed and sent is blasphemous just 'cause I said I’m the Son of God? That’s wild.

37If I ain't doing my Dad's work, then don’t believe me, no cap.

38But if I am, even if you don’t vibe with me, peep the works: know that the Father’s in me, and I’m in Him.

39So they tried to grab him again, but he pulled a slick move and slipped away.

40He bounced back to the other side of Jordan, to where John first baptized, and just chilled there.

41Mad peeps came to him, saying, "John didn’t do any wild stuff, but everything he said about this dude was facts."

42A bunch of them straight up believed in him there.

1Verily, 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.

2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10The 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.

11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

12But 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.

13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16And 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.

17Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

18No 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.

19There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

20And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

21Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.

24Then 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.

25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30I and my Father are one.

31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33The 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.

34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38But 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.

39Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

40And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

41And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

42And many believed on him there.
