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.
Truly, truly, I say to you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But, he that entereth through the door, is, shepherd, of the sheep:
But he that enters in 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 opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
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 puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for 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 flee 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 spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, again—Verily, verily, I say unto you: —I, am the door of the sheep:
Then said Jesus to them again, Truly, truly, 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 hearkened nor unto them.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear 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 comes 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.
11 I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives 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 he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
13 Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep.
The hireling flees, because he is an hireling, and cares 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 sheep, and am known of mine.
15 Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep.
As the Father knows me, even 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: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: —
Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might 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 takes 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.
19 A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 But many from among them were saying—A demon, he hath, and is raving, —Why, unto him, do ye hearken?
And many of them said, He has a devil, and is mad; why hear you 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 words of him that has a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter,
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
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 came the Jews round about him, and said to him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, 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 you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said to 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, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to 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 took up stones again 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 answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you 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, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that 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 written in your law, I said, You are gods?
35 If, those, he called 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 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?
Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; 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 you believe not me, believe the works: that you 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.
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
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 away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he stayed.
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 resorted to him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 And, many, believed on him there.
And many believed on him there.
