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;
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 The [one] however entering in through the door shepherd is of the sheep.
But the one who enters by the gate 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+kO) by name and leads out them.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 (and *k) When [his] own (all *N+KO) he may bring out, before them he goes, and the sheep after him follow, because they know the voice of him.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 After a stranger however certainly not (they will follow *N+kO) but will flee from him, because not they know of strangers the voice.
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”
6 This allegory spoke to them Jesus; they however not knew what (it was *NK+o) that He was saying to them.
Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, 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.
So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
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 were 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 gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go 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 comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
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+kO) 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)
The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.
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 man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.
14 I myself am the shepherd good and I know My own, and (they know *N+KO) (me those mine, *N+kO)
I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
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.
just as the Father knows 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+KO) one flock, with one shepherd.
I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock 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.
The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up 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 from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
19 Division (therefore *K) again there was among the Jews on account of words these.
Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.
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 is demon-possessed and insane. Why would 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+kO)
But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 Took place (at the time *N+KO) the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem; (And *k) winter it was,
At that time the Feast of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
23 and was walking Jesus in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.
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.
So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep 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;
“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.
26 But you yourselves not believe, (because *N+kO) not you are from among the sheep of Mine (even as I said to you. *K)
But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.
27 The sheep of Mine to the voice of Mine (they listen *N+kO) and I myself and I myself know them, and they follow Me,
My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
29 The Father of Mine (which *N+kO) has given [them] to Me [than] all (greater *N+kO) 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 can 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.
At this, the Jews again picked up stones 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
But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these 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.
“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be 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 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’?
then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that 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 am not doing the works of My Father, then 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+kO) so that you may know and (may understand *N+KO) that in Me myself [is] the Father and I myself and I myself in (the *no) (Father. *N+KO)
But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”
39 They were seeking therefore Him again to seize; but He went forth out of the hand of them
At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
40 And He departed again beyond the Jordan to the place where was John at first baptizing, And He stayed there.
Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, 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 and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”
42 And many believed in Him there.
And many in that place believed in Jesus.
