John 10
1 “I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't come in through the gate of the sheepfold but climbs in some other way is a thief and a robber.
ⲁ̅ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲣⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲟϩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲧⲃ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲕⲉⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲡⲉ
2 The one who comes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲣⲟ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲱⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
3 The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep respond to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲡⲉⲙⲛⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉϥ ⲥⲙⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⲛϥⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
4 After bringing them out, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
ⲇ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲁ ⲧⲉⲩϩⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ
5 They won't follow strangers. In fact they run away from a stranger because they don't recognize the voice of strangers.”
ⲉ̅ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩϣⲙⲙⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲛϣⲙⲙⲟ
6 When Jesus gave this illustration those who were listening to him didn't understand what he meant.
ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲓⲙⲓⲁ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲧϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ
7 So Jesus explained again, “I tell you the truth: I am the gate of the sheepfold.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲱⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
8 All those who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ
9 I am the gate. Anyone who comes in through me will be healed. They will be able to come and go, and find the food they need.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲟ ⲉⲣϣⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϥϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ
10 The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I've come to bring you life, life full to overflowing.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲙⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϩⲱϥⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉϫⲓ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲡϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϣⲁϥⲕⲁ ⲧⲉϥⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
12 The man paid to look after the sheep is not the shepherd and he runs away when he sees the wolf coming. He abandons the sheep because they're not his, and the wolf attacks and scatters the flock
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡϫⲁⲓ ⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϣⲱⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϣ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁϥⲕⲁ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϥⲡⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϣ ⲧⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⲛϥϫⲟⲟⲣⲟⲩ
13 for the man is only working for pay and doesn't care about the sheep.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
14 I am the good shepherd. I know who are mine, and they know me,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲉⲓ
15 just as the Father knows me and I know him. I lay down my life for the sheep.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲛⲁⲕⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲁ ⲛⲁⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
16 I have other sheep that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them too. They will listen to my voice and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲟϩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟϩⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
17 This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so I may take it up again.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲕⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲓⲉϫⲓⲧⲥ
18 No one takes it from me; I choose to lay it down. I have the right to give it up, and I have the right to take it back. This is the command my Father gave me.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϥⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲧ ⲟⲩⲛϯ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛϯ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϫⲓⲧⲥ ⲧⲉⲓⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲓⲧⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ
19 The Jews were again divided in their opinion about Jesus over these words.

20 Many of them said, “He's demon-possessed! He's mad! Why are you listening to him?”

21 Others said, “These aren't the words of someone who's demon-possessed. Besides, a demon can't open eyes that are blind.”

22 It was winter, and the time of the Festival of Dedication in Jerusalem.

23 Jesus was walking in the Temple through Solomon's porch. The Jews surrounded him, asking,

24 “How long are you going to keep us hanging in suspense? If you are the Messiah then tell us plainly!”

25 Jesus replied, “I already told you but you refuse to believe it. The miracles I do in my Father's name prove who I am.

26 You don't believe me because you are not my sheep.

29 My Father who gave them to me is greater than anyone else; no one can snatch them from him.

31 Once again the Jews picked up stones to stone him.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲱⲛⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
32 Jesus said to them, “You've seen many good deeds that I've done from the Father. Which one are you stoning me for?”

33 The Jews replied, “We're not stoning you for a good deed, but for blasphemy because you are just a man but you're claiming to be God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Isn't it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?

35 He called those people ‘gods,’ the people to whom the word of God came—and Scripture can't be altered.

36 So why are you saying the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said ‘I am the Son of God’?

37 If I'm not doing what my Father does, then don't believe me.

38 But if that is what I'm doing, even though you don't believe me, you should believe because of the evidence of what I've done. That way you can know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”
