John 10
1 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.
VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but getteth in some other way, that person is a thief and a robber.
2 But, he that entereth through the door, is, shepherd, of the sheep:
He that entereth by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him, the porter openeth, and, the sheep, unto his voice, hearken: and, his own sheep, he calleth by name, and leadeth them forth.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own peculiar sheep by name, and leadeth them forth.
4 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;
And when he bringeth out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: because they know his voice.
5 But, a stranger, will they in nowise follow, but will flee from him, because they know not the voice, of strangers.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will fly from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they knew nothing of the things which he spake to them.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, again—Verily, verily, I say unto you: —I, am the door of the sheep:
Therefore Jesus said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 All, as many as came before me, are thieves, and, robbers: but the sheep hearkened nor unto them.
All, as many as have gone before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep hearkened not to them.
9 I, am the door: through me, if anyone enter, he shall be saved, and shall come in and go out, and, pasture, shall find.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 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.
The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
12 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, —
But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own property the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf seizes upon them, and disperseth the sheep.
13 Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, —
I am the good shepherd, and know my own sheep, and am known of my own.
15 Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep.
As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 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.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd.
17 Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: —
Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 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.
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 I have received from my Father.
19 A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.
There was therefore a division again among the Jews, on account of these sayings.
20 But many from among them were saying—A demon, he hath, and is raving, —Why, unto him, do ye hearken?
Then many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hearken to him?
21 Others, said—These sayings, are not those of one demonized, —Can, a demon, open the eyes of, the blind?
Others said, These are not the discourses of a demoniac. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter,
Then was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s portico.
24 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.
Then the Jews came about him, and said to him, How long dost thou keep our soul in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 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.
Jesus answered them; I told you, and ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me.
26 But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, —and, I, know, them, and they follow me, —
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
29 What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: —
My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and the Father, are, one.
I and my Father are one.
31 The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him.
Then the Jews again brought stones, in order to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them—Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me?
Jesus said unto them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which work of these are ye going to stone me?
33 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.
The Jews answered him, For a good work we do not stone thee; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being merely a man, makest 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, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
If he called those gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 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?
do ye say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me;
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 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.
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.
39 They were [therefore] again seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand.
Then sought they again to apprehend him and he departed out of their reach,
40 And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode there.
and went again beyond Jordan, unto the place where John at first baptised; and there he abode.
41 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.
And many came to him, and said, That John indeed performed no miracle: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
42 And, many, believed on him there.
And many believed on him there.
