1. "I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
|
1. Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , He that entereth G1525 not G3361 by G1223 the G3588 door G2374 into G1519 the G3588 sheepfold G833 G4263 , but G235 climbeth up G305 some other way G237 , the same G1565 is G2076 a thief G2812 and G2532 a robber G3027 .
|
|
2. The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
|
2. But G1161 he that entereth in G1525 by G1223 the G3588 door G2374 is G2076 the G3588 shepherd G4166 of the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
3. The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
|
3. To him G5129 the G3588 porter G2377 openeth G455 ; and G2532 the G3588 sheep G4263 hear G191 his G846 voice G5456 : and G2532 he calleth G2564 his own G2398 sheep G4263 by G2596 name G3686 , and G2532 leadeth them out G1806 G846 .
|
|
4. When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
|
4. And G2532 when G3752 he putteth forth G1544 his own G2398 sheep G4263 , he goeth G4198 before G1715 them G846 , and G2532 the G3588 sheep G4263 follow G190 him G846 : for G3754 they know G1492 his G846 voice G5456 .
|
|
5. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger's voice."
|
5. And G1161 a stranger G245 will they not G3364 follow G190 , but G235 will flee G5343 from G575 him G846 : for G3754 they know G1492 not G3756 the G3588 voice G5456 of strangers G245 .
|
|
6. Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
|
6. This G5026 parable G3942 spake G2036 Jesus G2424 unto them G846 : but G1161 they G1565 understood G1097 not G3756 what things G5101 they were G2258 which G3739 he spake G2980 unto them G846 .
|
|
7. So Jesus said to them again, "I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.
|
7. Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto them G846 again G3825 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 G3754 , I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 door G2374 of the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
8. All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
|
8. All G3956 that G3745 ever came G2064 before G4253 me G1700 are G1526 thieves G2812 and G2532 robbers G3027 : but G235 the G3588 sheep G4263 did not G3756 hear G191 them G846 .
|
|
9. I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, and find pasture.
|
9. I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 door G2374 : by G1223 me G1700 if G1437 any man G5100 enter in G1525 , he shall be saved G4982 , and G2532 shall go in G1525 and G2532 out G1831 , and G2532 find G2147 pasture G3542 .
|
|
10. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
|
10. The G3588 thief G2812 cometh G2064 not G3756 , but G1508 for to G2443 steal G2813 , and G2532 to kill G2380 , and G2532 to destroy G622 : I G1473 am come G2064 that G2443 they might have G2192 life G2222 , and G2532 that they might have G2192 it more abundantly G4053 .
|
|
11. "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
|
11. I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 good G2570 shepherd G4166 : the G3588 good G2570 shepherd G4166 giveth G5087 his G846 life G5590 for G5228 the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
12. The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.
|
12. But G1161 he that is a hireling G3411 , and G2532 not G3756 the G5607 shepherd G4166 , whose G3739 own G2398 the G3588 sheep G4263 are G1526 not G3756 , seeth G2334 the G3588 wolf G3074 coming G2064 , and G2532 leaveth G863 the G3588 sheep G4263 , and G2532 fleeth G5343 : and G2532 the G3588 wolf G3074 catcheth G726 them G846 , and G2532 scattereth G4650 the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
13. Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.
|
13. G1161 The G3588 hireling G3411 fleeth G5343 , because G3754 he is G2076 a hireling G3411 , and G2532 careth G3199 not G3756 for G4012 the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
14. "I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me�
|
14. I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 good G2570 shepherd G4166 , and G2532 know G1097 my G1699 sheep, and G2532 am known G1097 of G5259 mine G1699 .
|
|
15. just as the Father knows me and I know the Father� and I lay down my life for the sheep.
|
15. As G2531 the G3588 Father G3962 knoweth G1097 me G3165 , even so know I G2504 G1097 the G3588 Father G3962 : and G2532 I lay down G5087 my G3450 life G5590 for G5228 the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
16. I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
|
16. And G2532 other G243 sheep G4263 I have G2192 , which G3739 are G2076 not G3756 of G1537 this G5026 fold G833 : them also G2548 I G3165 must G1163 bring G71 , and G2532 they shall hear G191 my G3450 voice G5456 ; and G2532 there shall be G1096 one G3391 fold G4167 , and one G1520 shepherd G4166 .
|
|
17. This is why the Father loves me� because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again.
|
17. Therefore G1223 G5124 doth my Father G3962 love G25 me G3165 , because G3754 I G1473 lay down G5087 my G3450 life G5590 , that G2443 I might take G2983 it G846 again G3825 .
|
|
18. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father."
|
18. No man G3762 taketh G142 it G846 from G575 me G1700 , but G235 I G1473 lay it down G5087 G846 of G575 myself G1683 . I have G2192 power G1849 to lay it down G5087 G846 , and G2532 I have G2192 power G1849 to take G2983 it G846 again G3825 . This G5026 commandment G1785 have I received G2983 of G3844 my G3450 Father G3962 .
|
|
19. Another sharp division took place among the Jewish people because of these words.
|
19. There was G1096 a division G4978 therefore G3767 again G3825 among G1722 the G3588 Jews G2453 for G1223 these G5128 sayings G3056 .
|
|
20. Many of them were saying, "He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind! Why do you listen to him?"
|
20. And G1161 many G4183 of G1537 them G846 said G3004 , He hath G2192 a devil G1140 , and G2532 is mad G3105 ; why G5101 hear G191 ye him G846 ?
|
|
21. Others said, "These are not the words of someone possessed by a demon. A demon cannot cause the blind to see, can it?"
|
21. Others G243 said G3004 , These G5023 are G2076 not G3756 the G3588 words G4487 of him that hath a devil G1139 . Can G1410 a G3361 devil G1140 open G455 the eyes G3788 of the blind G5185 ?
|
|
22. Then came the feast of the Dedication in Jerusalem.
|
22. And G1161 it was G1096 at G1722 Jerusalem G2414 the G3588 feast of the dedication G1456 , and G2532 it was G2258 winter G5494 .
|
|
23. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple area in Solomon's Portico.
|
23. And G2532 Jesus G2424 walked G4043 in G1722 the G3588 temple G2411 in G1722 Solomon G4672 's porch G4745 .
|
|
24. The Jewish leaders surrounded him and asked, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
|
24. Then G3767 came the Jews round about G2944 G3588 G2453 him G846 , and G2532 said G3004 unto him G846 , How long G2193 G4219 dost thou make us to doubt G142 G2257 G5590 ? If G1487 thou G4771 be G1488 the G3588 Christ G5547 , tell G2036 us G2254 plainly G3954 .
|
|
25. Jesus replied, "I told you and you do not believe. The deeds I do in my Father's name testify about me.
|
25. Jesus G2424 answered G611 them G846 , I told G2036 you G5213 , and G2532 ye believed G4100 not G3756 : the G3588 works G2041 that G3739 I G1473 do G4160 in G1722 my G3450 Father G3962 's name G3686 , they G5023 bear witness G3140 of G4012 me G1700 .
|
|
26. But you refuse to believe because you are not my sheep.
|
26. But G235 ye G5210 believe G4100 not G3756 , because G1063 ye are G2075 not G3756 of G1537 my G1699 sheep G4263 , as G2531 I said G2036 unto you G5213 .
|
|
27. My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
|
27. My G1699 sheep G4263 hear G191 my G3450 voice G5456 , and I G2504 know G1097 them G846 , and G2532 they follow G190 me G3427 :
|
|
28. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; no one will snatch them from my hand.
|
28. And I G2504 give G1325 unto them G846 eternal G166 life G2222 ; and G2532 they shall never G3364 G1519 G165 perish G622 , neither G2532 G3756 shall any G5100 man pluck G726 them G846 out of G1537 my G3450 hand G5495 .
|
|
29. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can snatch them from my Father's hand.
|
29. My G3450 Father G3962 , which G3739 gave G1325 them me G3427 , is G2076 greater G3187 than all G3956 ; and G2532 no G3762 man is able G1410 to pluck G726 them out of G1537 my G3450 Father G3962 's hand G5495 .
|
|
30. The Father and I are one."
|
30. I G1473 and G2532 my Father G3962 are G2070 one G1520 .
|
|
31. The Jewish leaders picked up rocks again to stone him to death.
|
31. Then G3767 the G3588 Jews G2453 took up G941 stones G3037 again G3825 to G2443 stone G3034 him G846 .
|
|
32. Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?"
|
32. Jesus G2424 answered G611 them G846 , Many G4183 good G2570 works G2041 have I showed G1166 you G5213 from G1537 my G3450 Father G3962 ; for G1223 which G4169 of those G846 works G2041 do ye stone G3034 me G3165 ?
|
|
33. The Jewish leaders replied, "We are not going to stone you for a good deed but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are claiming to be God."
|
33. The G3588 Jews G2453 answered G611 him G846 , saying G3004 , For G4012 a good G2570 work G2041 we stone G3034 thee G4571 not G3756 ; but G235 for G4012 blasphemy G988 ; and G2532 because G3754 that thou G4771 , being G5607 a man G444 , makest G4160 thyself G4572 God G2316 .
|
|
34. Jesus answered, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'?
|
34. Jesus G2424 answered G611 them G846 , Is G2076 it not G3756 written G1125 in G1722 your G5216 law G3551 , I G1473 said G2036 , Ye are G2075 gods G2316
|
|
35. If those people to whom the word of God came were called 'gods' (and the scripture cannot be broken),
|
35. If G1487 he called G2036 them G1565 gods G2316 , unto G4314 whom G3739 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 came G1096 , and G2532 the G3588 Scripture G1124 cannot G1410 G3756 be broken G3089 ;
|
|
36. do you say about the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
|
36. Say G3004 ye G5210 of him, whom G3739 the G3588 Father G3962 hath sanctified G37 , and G2532 sent G649 into G1519 the G3588 world G2889 , Thou blasphemest G987 ; because G3754 I said G3004 , I am G1510 the Son G5207 of God G2316 ?
|
|
37. If I do not perform the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.
|
37. If G1487 I do G4160 not G3756 the G3588 works G2041 of my G3450 Father G3962 , believe G4100 me G3427 not G3361 .
|
|
38. But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may come to know and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me."
|
38. But G1161 if G1487 I do G4160 , though G2579 ye believe G4100 not G3361 me G1698 , believe G4100 the G3588 works G2041 : that G2443 ye may know G1097 , and G2532 believe G4100 , that G3754 the G3588 Father G3962 is in G1722 me G1698 , and I G2504 in G1722 him G846 .
|
|
39. Then they attempted again to seize him, but he escaped their clutches.
|
39. Therefore G3767 they sought G2212 again G3825 to take G4084 him G846 : but G2532 he escaped G1831 out of G1537 their G846 hand G5495 ,
|
|
40. Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.
|
40. And G2532 went away G565 again G3825 beyond G4008 Jordan G2446 into G1519 the G3588 place G5117 where G3699 John G2491 at first G4412 baptized G2258 G907 ; and G2532 there G1563 he abode G3306 .
|
|
41. Many came to him and began to say, "John performed no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was true!"
|
41. And G2532 many G4183 resorted G2064 unto G4314 him G846 , and G2532 said G3004 , John G2491 did G4160 no G3762 miracle G4592 : but G1161 all things G3956 that G3745 John G2491 spake G2036 of G4012 this man G5127 were G2258 true G227 .
|
|
42. And many believed in Jesus there.
|
42. And G2532 many G4183 believed G4100 on G1519 him G846 there G1563 .
|
