The Gospel of John Chapter 10  (Audio Bible - NIV)   1 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep  pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a  robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3  The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his  voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has  brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow  him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a  stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not  recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but  the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.  7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for  the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but  the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters  through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find  pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have  come that they may have life, and have it to the full.  11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the  sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the  sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs  away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs  away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.  14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15  just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life  for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I  must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall  be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I  lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me,  but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and  authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”  19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided. 20 Many of them  said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”  21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a  demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”  22 Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23  and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24  The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you  keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”  25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I  do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe  because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know  them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall  never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who  has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of  my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”   Refer to the Bible for verses John 10:31-42               No copyright music by: Serjo De Lua https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thedayofthelordisnear/message
