< John 10 >
1 Amen Amen I say to you; the [one] not entering in through the door to the fold of the sheep but climbing up another way, he a thief is and a robber;
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 The [one] however entering in through the door shepherd is of the sheep.
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep to the voice of him listen, and [his] own sheep (he shouts to *N(k)O*) by name and leads out them.
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.
4 (and *k*) When [his] own (all *N(K)O*) he may bring out, before them he goes, and the sheep after him follow, because they know the voice of him.
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 After a stranger however certainly not (they will follow *N(k)O*) but will flee from him, because not they know of strangers the voice.
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 This allegory spoke to them Jesus; they however not knew what (it was *NK(o)*) that He was saying to them.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
7 Said therefore again (to them *ko*) Jesus; Amen Amen I say to you that I myself am the door of the sheep.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 All as many as came before Me thieves are and robbers; but not did listen to them the sheep.
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 I myself am the door; through Me if anyone shall enter in, he will be saved and he will go in and will go out and pasture will find.
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.
10 The thief not comes only except that he shall steal and shall kill and shall destroy; I myself came that life they may have and excessive may have.
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 I myself am the shepherd good; The shepherd good the life of Him lays down for the sheep.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 the hired servant (now *ko*) however not being [the] shepherd, whose not (are *N(k)O*) the sheep [his] own, he sees the wolf coming and he leaves the sheep and flees — and the wolf snatches them and scatters. (sheep *k*)
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 (this now *k(o)*) (hired servant *k*) (flees *K*) because a hired servant he is and not he is himself concerned to him about the sheep.
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and does not care for the sheep.
14 I myself am the shepherd good and I know My own, and (they know *N(K)O*) (me those mine, *N(k)O*)
I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I am known by my own;
15 Even as knows Me the Father I myself also I myself also know the Father, and the life of Mine I lay down for the sheep.
even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which not are of fold this, those also those also it behooves Me to bring, and to the voice of Mine they will listen, and (they will become *N(K)O*) one flock, with one shepherd.
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.
17 Because of this Me the Father loves because I myself lay down the life of Mine, that again I may take it.
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 No [one] (takes away *NK(o)*) it from Me, but I myself lay down it of Myself. Authority I have to lay down it and authority I have again to take it; This commandment I received from the Father of Mine.
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.”
19 Division (therefore *K*) again there was among the Jews on account of words these.
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Were saying now many of them; A demon He has and is insane; why to Him do you listen?
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 Others (now *o*) were saying; These declarations not are [those] of one demonised; Surely not a demon is able of [the] blind [their] eyes (to open? *N(k)O*)
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?”
22 Took place (at the time *N(K)O*) the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem; (And *k*) winter it was,
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 and was walking Jesus in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Encircled therefore Him the Jews and they were saying to Him; Until when the soul of us hold You in suspense? If You yourself are the Christ, (do tell *NK(O)*) us plainly.
The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Answered them Jesus; I told you, and not you believe. The works that I myself do in the name of the Father of Mine, these bear witness concerning Me;
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.
26 But you yourselves not believe, (because *N(k)O*) not you are from among the sheep of Mine (even as I said to you. *K*)
But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 The sheep of Mine to the voice of Mine (they listen *N(k)O*) and I myself and I myself know them, and they follow Me,
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
28 and I myself and I myself give to them life eternal, and certainly not shall they perish to the age, and never will seize anyone them out of the hand of Me. (aiōn , aiōnios )
I give consummate (aiōnios ) life to them. They will never perish in this age (aiōn ), and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 The Father of Mine (which *N(k)O*) has given [them] to Me [than] all (greater *N(k)O*) is, and no [one] is able to seize [them] out of the hand the Father (of mine. *ko*)
My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I myself and the Father one are.
I and the Father are one.”
31 Took up (therefore *KO*) again stones the Jews, that they may stone Him.
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Answered them Jesus; Many works good I have shown you from the Father (of mine; *ko*) because of which of these work Me myself do you stone
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 Answered to Him the Jews (saying: *k*) For a good work not we do stone You but for blasphemy, and because You yourself a man being make yourself God.
The Jews answered him, “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 Answered to them Jesus; Surely it is written in the law of you (that *no*) I myself said: gods you are’?
Jesus answered them, “Is not it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 If them he called gods to whom the word of God came, and not is able to be broken the Scripture,
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 He sent into the world, you yourselves do say that You blaspheme, because I said; Son of God I am’?
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’?
37 If not I do the works of the Father of Mine, [then] not do believe Me;
If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 If however I do, even if even if Me myself not you shall believe, in the works (do believe *N(k)O*) so that you may know and (may understand *N(K)O*) that in Me myself [is] the Father and I myself and I myself in (the *no*) (Father. *N(K)O*)
But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 They were seeking therefore Him again to seize; but He went forth out of the hand of them
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 And He departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where was John at first baptizing, And He stayed there.
He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 And many came to Him and were saying that John indeed sign did no[thing], everything however as much as said John about this [man] true was.
Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
42 And many believed in Him there.
Many believed in him there.
