John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Verily, verily, I say to you, That he who doth not enter by the door into the fold of the flock, but climbeth up in some other place, he is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
But he that entereth by the door, is the shepherd of the flock.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
And to him the door-keeper openeth the door; and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth the sheep by their names, and leadeth them out.
4 When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
And when he hath led out his flock, he goeth before it; and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
But after a stranger the flock will not follow, but it fleeth from him; because it knoweth not the voice of a stranger.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
This allegory spake Jesus to them; but they knew not what he said to them.
7 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
And Jesus said to them again: Verily, verily, I say to you, That I am the door of the flock.
8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
All those who have come, were thieves and robbers: but the flock did not hear them.
9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
I am the door: and if any enter by me, he will live, and will come in and go out, and will find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. I have come, that they may have life, and may have that which is excellent.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
I am a good shepherd. A good shepherd exposeth his life for the sheep.
12 He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:
But a hireling, who is not the shepherd, and to whom the sheep do not belong, when he seeth the wolf coming, leaveth the flock, and fleeth; and the wolf cometh, and teareth, and disperseth the flock.
13 [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
And a hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and hath no concern for the flock.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
I am a good shepherd; and I know my own sheep, and am known by my own.
15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
As my Father knoweth me, so know I my Father; and I expose my life for the flock.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold: and them also I must bring; and they will hear my voice; and the whole will be one flock, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
For this cause my Father loveth me, that I lay down my life, to resume it again.
18 No one taketh it away 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 received I from my Father.
There is no one that taketh it from me; but I lay it down of my own pleasure: for I have authority to lay it down, and authority to resume it again; because I have received this command from my Father.
19 There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
And again there was a division among the Jews, on account of these sayings.
20 And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?
And many of them said: He hath a demon, and is wholly beside himself; why hear ye him?
21 Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
But others said: These are not the discourses of a demoniac: can a demon open the eyes of one blind?
22 And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:
And the feast of the dedication was held at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
And Jesus walked in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
24 The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
And the Jews gathered around him; and said to him: how long holdest thou our mind in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.
Jesus answered, and said to them: I have told you, and ye did not believe. The works which I do in the name of my Father, they testify of me
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
But ye do not believe, because ye are not of my sheep, as I have said to you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
My sheep hear my voice: and I know them: and they go after me.
29 My Father, who hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand.
For my Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; nor can any pluck from my Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one.
I and my Father are one.
31 The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
And again the Jews took up stones, to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Jesus said to them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
The Jews said to him: It is not on account of good works, that we stone thee: but because thou blasphemest; and, whilst thou art a man, thou makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Jesus said to them: Is it not written in your law, I have said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
If he called them gods, because the word of God was with them, and the scripture cannot be nullified;
36 say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am [the] Son of God?
do ye say to him, whom the Father, hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said to you, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
And if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
But if I do them, although ye believe not me, yet believe the works; that ye may know and believe, that my Father is in me, and I in my Father.
39 They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.
And again they sought to lay hold of him; but he escaped out of their hands;
40 And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode.
and retired to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John at first baptized, and tarried there.
41 And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
And many persons came to him: and they said, John indeed wrought not even one sign; but every thing that John said of his man, was true.
42 And many believed on him there.
And many believed on him.
