John 10
1 “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;
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not in by the door to the fold of the sheep, but mounts up elsewhere, he is a thief and a robber;
2 and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;
but he that enters in by the door is [the] shepherd of the sheep.
3 the doorkeeper opens to this one, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he calls by name, and leads them forth;
To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 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;
When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 and they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.”
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 Jesus spoke this allegory to them, and they did not know what the things were that He was speaking to them;
This allegory spoke Jesus to them, but they did not know what it was [of] which he spoke to them.
7 Jesus therefore said again to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep;
Jesus therefore said again to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 all, as many as came before Me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;
All whoever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
9 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.
I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.
10 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.
The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I am come that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly.
11 I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays His life down for the sheep;
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:
12 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;
but he who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf seizes them and scatters the sheep.
13 and the hired worker flees because he is a hired worker, and is not caring for the sheep.
Now he who serves for wages flees because he serves for wages, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
14 I AM the good shepherd, and I know My [sheep], and am known by Mine,
I am the good shepherd; and I know those that are mine, and am known of those that are mine,
15 according as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father, and My life I lay down for the sheep,
as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 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.
And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: those also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17 Because of this the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, that again I may take it;
On this account the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again.
18 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.”
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.
19 Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,
There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;
20 and many of them said, “He has a demon, and is mad, why do you hear Him?”
but many of them said, He has a demon and raves; why do ye hear him?
21 Others said, “These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able to open blind men’s eyes?”
Others said, These sayings are not [those] of one that is possessed by a demon. Can a demon open blind people's eyes?
22 And the Dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,
Now the feast of the dedication was celebrating at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,
And Jesus walked in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
24 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.”
The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.
25 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;
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:
26 but you do not believe, for you are not of My sheep,
but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 according as I said to you: My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me,
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
29 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;
My Father who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
30 I and the Father are one.”
I and the Father are one.
31 Therefore, again, the Jews took up stones that they may stone Him;
The Jews therefore again took stones that they might stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from My Father; because of which work of them do you stone Me?”
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?
33 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.”
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not having been written in your law: I said, you are gods?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If He called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the Writing is not able to be broken),
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 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?
do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?
37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
38 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.”
but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know [and believe] that the Father is in me and I in him.
39 Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He went forth out of their hand,
They sought therefore again to take him; and he went away from out of their hand
40 and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first immersing, and remained there,
and departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptising at the first: and he abode there.
41 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”;
And many came to him, and said, John did no sign; but all things which John said of this [man] were true.
42 and many believed in Him there.
And many believed on him there.
