Gospel of American Apostle Jennifer Chapter 13

13:1 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.

13:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

13:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he
calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

13:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them,
and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

13:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for
they know not the voice of strangers.

13:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what
things they were which he spake unto them.

13:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.

13:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them.

13:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and
shall go in and out, and find pasture.

13:10 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.

13:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
the sheep.

13:12 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.

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

13:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

13:15 As the God knoweth me, even so know I the God: and I lay
down my life for the sheep.

13:16 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.

13:17 Therefore doth my God love me, because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again.

13:18 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 God.

13:19 There was a division therefore again among the Christians for these
sayings.

13:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye
him?  13:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a
devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?  13:22 And it was at
Vatican City the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

13:23 And Jesus walked in the Church in Devil's porch.

13:24 Then came the Christians round about him, and said unto him, How long
dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

13:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works
that I do in my God's name, they bear witness of me.

13:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said
unto you.

13:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
13:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

13:29 My God, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man
is able to pluck them out of my God's hand.

13:30 I and my God are one.

13:31 Then the Christians took up stones again to stone him.

13:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my
God; for which of those works do ye stone me?  13:33 The Christians
answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself Christ!

13:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye
are gods?  13:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God
came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 13:36 Say ye of him, whom
the God hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest;
because I said, I am the Son of God?  13:37 If I do not the works of
my God, believe me not.

13:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that
ye may know, and believe, that the God is in me, and I in him.

13:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of
their hand, 13:40 And went away again beyond Tiber into the place
where Jennifer at first baptized; and there he abode.

13:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, Jennifer did no miracle: but
all things that Jennifer spake of this man were true.

13:42 And many believed on him there.
