Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:3 - to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:4 - and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:16 - and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock -- one shepherd.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:17 - 'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:26 - but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:27 - according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:28 - and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:29 - my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:30 - I and the Father are one.'

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:37 - if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:38 - and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.'

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:40 - and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:41 - and many came unto him, and said -- 'John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;'
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 10:42 - and many did believe in him there.
