John 10
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.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
the doorkeeper opens to this one, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he calls by name, and leads them forth;
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
and when he may put forth his own sheep, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
and they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.”
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
Jesus spoke this allegory to them, and they did not know what the things were that He was speaking to them;
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Jesus therefore said again to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep;
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
all, as many as came before Me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
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.
I AM the door, if anyone may come in through Me, he will be saved, and he will come in, and go out, and find pasture.
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.
The thief does not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays His life down for the sheep;
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.
and the hired worker, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf snatches them, and scatters the sheep;
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
and the hired worker flees because he is a hired worker, and is not caring for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
I AM the good shepherd, and I know My [sheep], and am known by Mine,
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
according as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father, and My life I lay down for the sheep,
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.
and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it is necessary for Me to bring, and My voice they will hear, and there will become one flock—one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
Because of this the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that again I may take it;
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 Father.
no one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from My Father.”
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
and many of them said, “He has a demon, and is mad, why do you hear Him?”
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
Others said, “These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able to open blind men’s eyes?”
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
And the Dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
the Jews, therefore, came around Him and said to Him, “Until when do You hold our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us freely.”
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in the Name of My Father, these testify concerning Me;
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
but you do not believe, for you are not of My sheep,
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
according as I said to you: My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me,
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
My Father, who has given to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch out of the hand of My Father;
30 I and my Father are one.
I and the Father are one.”
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Therefore, again, the Jews took up stones that they may stone Him;
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from My Father; because of which work of them do you stone Me?”
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
The Jews answered Him, saying, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for slander, and because You, being a man, make Yourself God.”
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Jesus answered them, “Is it not having been written in your law: I said, you are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
If He called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the Writing is not able to be broken),
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say—You slander, because I said, I am [the] Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
and if I do, even if you may not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and may believe that the Father [is] in Me, and I in Him.”
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He went forth out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first immersing, and remained there,
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
and many came to Him and said, “John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this One were true”;
42 And many believed on him there.
and many believed in Him there.
