Κατα Ιωαννην 10
1 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ο μη εισερχομενος δια της θυρας εις την αυλην των προβατων αλλα αναβαινων αλλαχοθεν εκεινος κλεπτης εστιν και ληστης
“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 ο δε εισερχομενος δια της θυρας ποιμην εστιν των προβατων
But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 τουτω ο θυρωρος ανοιγει και τα προβατα της φωνης αυτου ακουει και τα ιδια προβατα καλει κατ ονομα και εξαγει αυτα
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 και οταν τα ιδια προβατα εκβαλη εμπροσθεν αυτων πορευεται και τα προβατα αυτω ακολουθει οτι οιδασιν την φωνην αυτου
Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 αλλοτριω δε ου μη ακολουθησωσιν αλλα φευξονται απ αυτου οτι ουκ οιδασιν των αλλοτριων την φωνην
They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
6 ταυτην την παροιμιαν ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους εκεινοι δε ουκ εγνωσαν τινα ην α ελαλει αυτοις
Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
7 ειπεν ουν παλιν αυτοις ο ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εγω ειμι η θυρα των προβατων
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 παντες οσοι προ εμου ηλθον κλεπται εισιν και λησται αλλ ουκ ηκουσαν αυτων τα προβατα
All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 εγω ειμι η θυρα δι εμου εαν τις εισελθη σωθησεται και εισελευσεται και εξελευσεται και νομην ευρησει
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 ο κλεπτης ουκ ερχεται ει μη ινα κλεψη και θυση και απολεση εγω ηλθον ινα ζωην εχωσιν και περισσον εχωσιν
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 εγω ειμι ο ποιμην ο καλος ο ποιμην ο καλος την ψυχην αυτου τιθησιν υπερ των προβατων
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 ο μισθωτος δε και ουκ ων ποιμην ου ουκ εισιν τα προβατα ιδια θεωρει τον λυκον ερχομενον και αφιησιν τα προβατα και φευγει και ο λυκος αρπαζει αυτα και σκορπιζει τα προβατα
He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 ο δε μισθωτος φευγει οτι μισθωτος εστιν και ου μελει αυτω περι των προβατων
The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
14 εγω ειμι ο ποιμην ο καλος και γινωσκω τα εμα και γινωσκομαι υπο των εμων
I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
15 καθως γινωσκει με ο πατηρ καγω γινωσκω τον πατερα και την ψυχην μου τιθημι υπερ των προβατων
even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 και αλλα προβατα εχω α ουκ εστιν εκ της αυλης ταυτης κακεινα με δει αγαγειν και της φωνης μου ακουσουσιν και γενησεται μια ποιμνη εις ποιμην
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 δια τουτο ο πατηρ με αγαπα οτι εγω τιθημι την ψυχην μου ινα παλιν λαβω αυτην
Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 ουδεις αιρει αυτην απ εμου αλλ εγω τιθημι αυτην απ εμαυτου εξουσιαν εχω θειναι αυτην και εξουσιαν εχω παλιν λαβειν αυτην ταυτην την εντολην ελαβον παρα του πατρος μου
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 σχισμα ουν παλιν εγενετο εν τοις ιουδαιοις δια τους λογους τουτους
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20 ελεγον δε πολλοι εξ αυτων δαιμονιον εχει και μαινεται τι αυτου ακουετε
Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 αλλοι ελεγον ταυτα τα ρηματα ουκ εστιν δαιμονιζομενου μη δαιμονιον δυναται τυφλων οφθαλμους ανοιγειν
Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
22 εγενετο δε τα εγκαινια εν τοις ιεροσολυμοις και χειμων ην
It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 και περιεπατει ο ιησους εν τω ιερω εν τη στοα του σολομωντος
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 εκυκλωσαν ουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι και ελεγον αυτω εως ποτε την ψυχην ημων αιρεις ει συ ει ο χριστος ειπε ημιν παρρησια
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 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους ειπον υμιν και ου πιστευετε τα εργα α εγω ποιω εν τω ονοματι του πατρος μου ταυτα μαρτυρει περι εμου
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26 αλλ υμεις ου πιστευετε ου γαρ εστε εκ των προβατων των εμων καθως ειπον υμιν
But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 τα προβατα τα εμα της φωνης μου ακουει καγω γινωσκω αυτα και ακολουθουσιν μοι
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
29 ο πατηρ μου ος δεδωκεν μοι μειζων παντων εστιν και ουδεις δυναται αρπαζειν εκ της χειρος του πατρος μου
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 εγω και ο πατηρ εν εσμεν
I and the Father are one.”
31 εβαστασαν ουν παλιν λιθους οι ιουδαιοι ινα λιθασωσιν αυτον
Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους πολλα καλα εργα εδειξα υμιν εκ του πατρος μου δια ποιον αυτων εργον λιθαζετε με
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 απεκριθησαν αυτω οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντες περι καλου εργου ου λιθαζομεν σε αλλα περι βλασφημιας και οτι συ ανθρωπος ων ποιεις σεαυτον θεον
The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους ουκ εστιν γεγραμμενον εν τω νομω υμων εγω ειπα θεοι εστε
Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 ει εκεινους ειπεν θεους προς ους ο λογος του θεου εγενετο και ου δυναται λυθηναι η γραφη
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 ον ο πατηρ ηγιασεν και απεστειλεν εις τον κοσμον υμεις λεγετε οτι βλασφημεις οτι ειπον υιος του θεου ειμι
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 ει ου ποιω τα εργα του πατρος μου μη πιστευετε μοι
If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
38 ει δε ποιω καν εμοι μη πιστευητε τοις εργοις πιστευσατε ινα γνωτε και πιστευσητε οτι εν εμοι ο πατηρ καγω εν αυτω
But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 εζητουν ουν παλιν αυτον πιασαι και εξηλθεν εκ της χειρος αυτων
They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 και απηλθεν παλιν περαν του ιορδανου εις τον τοπον οπου ην ιωαννης το πρωτον βαπτιζων και εμεινεν εκει
He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 και πολλοι ηλθον προς αυτον και ελεγον οτι ιωαννης μεν σημειον εποιησεν ουδεν παντα δε οσα ειπεν ιωαννης περι τουτου αληθη ην
Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
42 και επιστευσαν πολλοι εκει εις αυτον
Many believed in him there.
