< 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.
Verily, verily, I say unto you: —He that entereth not, through the door, into the fold of the sheep, but goeth up from another place, that man, is, a thief, and, a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
But, he that entereth 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.
To him, the porter openeth, and, the sheep, unto his voice, hearken: and, his own sheep, he calleth by name, and leadeth 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.
As soon as, all his own, he hath put forth, before them, he moveth on, and, the sheep, follow him, because they know his voice;
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
But, a stranger, will they in nowise follow, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice, of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto 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—Verily, verily, I say unto 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 hearkened nor unto 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: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find.
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, cometh not, save that he may thieve and slay and destroy: I, came, that, life, they might have, and, above measure, might have.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth 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.
The hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, —and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth, —
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine.
I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, —
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Just as, the Father, knoweth 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, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive 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, forced it from me, but, I, lay it down, of myself, —Authority, have I, to lay it down, and, authority, have I, again, to receive it: This commandment, received I, from my Father.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
But many from among them were saying—A demon, he hath, and is raving, —Why, unto him, do ye hearken?
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 one demonized, —Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: 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, surrounded him, and were saying unto him—How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly.
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 ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, —and, I, know, them, and they follow me, —
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. (aiōn , aiōnios )
And, I, give unto them life age-abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age-abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. (aiōn , aiōnios )
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.
What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off 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.
The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might 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—Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning 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—Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, —and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Jesus answered them—Is it not written in your law: I, said, Ye are, gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came—and the Scripture cannot 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, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying—Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in 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.
But, if I am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe, —that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
They were [therefore] again seeking to take 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 he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode 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 unto him, and were saying—John, indeed, did not so much as, one sign; but, all things, whatsoever John said concerning this one, were, true.
42 And many believed on him there.
And, many, believed on him there.
