< 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;
Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entreth not into the sheep-fold by the door, but climbeth 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 he that cometh 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.
To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth 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.
And when he bringeth forth his sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him; because 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.
But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him; because they know not 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.
This parable Jesus spake unto them; but they did not understand what He said to 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 unto them again, Verily, verily I tell you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 All as many as came before Me thieves are and robbers; but not did listen to them the sheep.
All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not regard 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: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and 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 cometh only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and may have it in perfection.
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 layeth 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*)
But the hireling, that is not the true shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf seizeth them, and disperseth the sheep.
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.
Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not 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, and I know my own sheep, and am known by them.
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 knoweth me, and I know the Father: and 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.
And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice; so there shall be one fold, and 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.
For this doth the Father love 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.
None 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 Division (therefore *K*) again there was among the Jews on account of words these.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews on account of these words.
20 Were saying now many of them; A demon He has and is insane; why to Him do you listen?
And many of them said, He is a demoniac, and is mad; why do ye hear 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 words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 Took place (at the time *N(K)O*) the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem; (And *k*) winter it was,
Now it was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 and was walking Jesus in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
And Jesus was walking about the temple, in Solomon's portico.
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.
Then the Jews came round Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou be the Messiah, 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 have told you, and ye do not believe me: though the works that I do in the name of my Father, testify of 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 ye believe not; because ye are not of my sheep: for as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice,
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,
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 )
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; nor shall any one force them out of my hand. (aiōn , aiōnios )
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 gave them to me, is greater than all: and therefore none is able to force them out of my Father's hand.
30 I myself and the Father one are.
I and the Father are one. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone Him.
31 Took up (therefore *KO*) again stones the Jews, that they may stone Him.
But Jesus said unto them,
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
Many good works have I shewn you from my Father; for which of those works do ye 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, saying, We do not go about to stone thee for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because thou being a man makest thyself God.
34 Answered to them Jesus; Surely it is written in the law of you (that *no*) I myself said: gods you are’?
Jesus replied, Is it not written in your law, "I have said, ye are gods?"
35 If them he called gods to whom the word of God came, and not is able to be broken the Scripture,
And if it stiled them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be made void, )
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 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 not I do the works of the Father of Mine, [then] not do believe Me;
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
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, 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 seeking therefore Him again to seize; but He went forth out of the hand of them
Therefore they sought again to seize Him; but He escaped out of their hand, and went away again beyond Jordan,
40 And He departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where was John at first baptizing, And He stayed there.
to the place where John was at first baptizing, and there He abode.
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.
And many resorted to Him, and said, John wrought no miracle, but all that he said concerning this man, was true.
42 And many believed in Him there.
And many there believed on Him.
