"In most solemn truth I tell you that the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs over some other way, is a thief and a robber.
But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲡⲉⲙⲛⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⲛϥ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
To him the porter opens the door, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.
4 ⲇ̅ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲉ͡ⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ. ϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲩϩⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ.
When he has brought out his own sheep--all of them--he walks at the head of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
But a stranger they will by no means follow, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."
Jesus spoke to them in this figurative language, but they did not understand what He meant.
Again therefore Jesus said to them, "In most solemn truth I tell you that I am the Door of the sheep.
All who have come before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep would not listen to them.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲟ. ⲉⲣϣⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ. ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕʾ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϥ̅ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ.
I am the Door. If any one enters by me, he will find safety, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲡⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲙⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϩⲱϥⲧ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉ͡ⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲛⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲓⲟⲩϩⲟ(ⲩⲟ).
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.
"I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲡϫⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲱⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϣ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁϥⲕⲁⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϥ̅ⲡⲱⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϣ ⲧⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲟⲟⲣⲟⲩ
The hired servant--one who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep--no sooner sees the wolf coming than he leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf worries and scatters them.
For he is only a hired servant and cares nothing for the sheep.
"I am the Good Shepherd. And I know my sheep and my sheep know me,
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲟϩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ. ⲟⲩϣⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
I have also other sheep--which do not belong to this fold. Those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under one Shepherd.
For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϥⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲕⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲧ. ⲟⲩⲛϯⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛϯⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϫⲓⲧⲥ̅. ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓⲧⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ.
No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father."
Again there arose a division among the Jews because of these words.
Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to him?"
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ. ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ⲃⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ⲃⲗ̅ⲗⲉ·
Others argued, "That is not the language of a demoniac: and can a demon open blind men's eyes?"
The Dedication Festival came on in Jerusalem. It was winter,
and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon's Portico,
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲕⲱⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲧⲛⲁⲩ ⲕϥⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϫⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly."
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲁⲉ͡ⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧ.
"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.
But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.
My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand.
I and the Father are one."
Again the Jews brought stones with which to stone Him.
32 ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲁϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈.
Jesus remonstrated with them. "Many good deeds," He said, "have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?"
33 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲉⲛⲧⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
"For no good deed," the Jews replied, "are we going to stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God."
"Does it not stand written in your Law," replied Jesus, "'I said, you are gods'?
35 ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
If those to whom God's word was addressed are called gods (and the Scripture cannot be annulled),
36 ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟϥ ⲁϥⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me.
38 ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉϯⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉ͡ⲓ. ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲧ.
But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father."
This made them once more try to arrest Him, but He withdrew out of their power.
Then He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first; and there He stayed.
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲛ. ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲉⲛⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ.
Large numbers of people also came to Him. Their report was, "John did not work any miracle, but all that John said about this Teacher was true."
And many became believers in Him there.
