John 10
1 "Truly, truly, I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs 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 one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
But, he that entereth through the door, is, shepherd, of the sheep:
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads 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 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes 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 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know 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 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.
Jesus, therefore, said, again—Verily, verily, I say unto you: —I, am the door of the sheep:
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
All, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will 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 only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it 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 lays down his life for the sheep.
I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep.
12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
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 And the hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and the sheep means nothing to him.
Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me;
I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, —
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. 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 I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with 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 the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: —
18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from 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 A division arose again among the Jewish people because of these words.
A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.
20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane. Why do you listen to 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 sayings of one possessed by a demon. It is not possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"
Others, said—These sayings, are not those of one demonized, —Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
22 At that time Hanukkah took place in Jerusalem.
The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter,
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
24 The Jewish leaders therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are 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 you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about 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 you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
27 As I said to you, 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, —
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the 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 the Father are one."
I and the Father, are, one.
31 Therefore the Jewish leaders took up stones again to stone him.
The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works do you 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 Jewish leaders answered him, "We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself 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, 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 Scripture cannot be broken),
If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' 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 do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me;
38 But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works; that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
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 Now they sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
They were [therefore] again seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand.
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.
And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode there.
41 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is 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 in him there.
And, many, believed on him there.
