John 10

1Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

1Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.

2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

3To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out.

4When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

4And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

5They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

5But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.

6In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

6This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke.

7So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

7Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.

8All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.

9I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.

9I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures.

10The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

10The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly.

11I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

12He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:

12But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep,

13Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.

13And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.

14I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

14I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me.

15Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.

15As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.

16And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

16And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.

17For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.

17Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

18No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

18No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

19There was a division again among the Jews because of these words.

19A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words.

20And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?

20And many of them said: He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear you him?

21Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

21Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

22Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;

22And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was winter.

23And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's covered way.

23And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

24Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

24The Jews therefore came round about him and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

25Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

25Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.

26But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.

26But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.

27My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

27My sheep hear my voice. And I know them: and they follow me.

28And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

28And I give them life everlasting: and they shall not perish for ever. And no man shall pluck them out of my hand.

29That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.

29That which my Father hath given me is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father.

30I and my Father are one.

30I and the Father are one.

31Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him.

31The Jews then took up stones to stone him.

32Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

32Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?

33This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

33The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy: and because that thou. being a, man, makest thyself God.

34In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

34Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said, you are gods?

35If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

35If he called them gods to whom the word of God was spoken; and the scripture cannot be broken:

36Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

36Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest; because I said: I am the Son of God?

37If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;

37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

38But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

39Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.

39They sought therefore to take him: and he escaped out of their hands.

40And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time.

40And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first. And there he abode.

41And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

41And many resorted to him: and they said: John indeed did no sign.

42And a number came to have faith in him there.

42But all things whatsoever John said of this man were true. And many believed n him.
