Jóhannesarguðspjall 10
Icelandic Bible
10 "Sannlega, sannlega segi ég yður: Sá sem kemur ekki um dyrnar inn í sauðabyrgið, heldur fer yfir annars staðar, hann er þjófur og ræningi,
2 en sá sem kemur inn um dyrnar, er hirðir sauðanna.
3 Dyravörðurinn lýkur upp fyrir honum, og sauðirnir heyra raust hans, og hann kallar á sína sauði með nafni og leiðir þá út.
4 Þegar hann hefur látið út alla sauði sína, fer hann á undan þeim, og þeir fylgja honum, af því að þeir þekkja raust hans.
5 En ókunnugum fylgja þeir ekki, heldur flýja frá honum, því þeir þekkja ekki raust ókunnugra."
6 Þessa líkingu sagði Jesús þeim. En þeir skildu ekki hvað það þýddi, sem hann var að tala við þá.
7 Því sagði Jesús aftur: "Sannlega, sannlega segi ég yður: Ég er dyr sauðanna.
8 Allir þeir, sem á undan mér komu, eru þjófar og ræningjar, enda hlýddu sauðirnir þeim ekki.
9 Ég er dyrnar. Sá sem kemur inn um mig, mun frelsast, og hann mun ganga inn og út og finna haga.
10 Þjófurinn kemur ekki nema til að stela og slátra og eyða. Ég er kominn til þess, að þeir hafi líf, líf í fullri gnægð.
11 Ég er góði hirðirinn. Góði hirðirinn leggur líf sitt í sölurnar fyrir sauðina.
12 Leiguliðinn, sem hvorki er hirðir né sjálfur á sauðina, sér úlfinn koma og yfirgefur sauðina og flýr, og úlfurinn hremmir þá og tvístrar þeim.
13 Enda er hann leiguliði og lætur sér ekki annt um sauðina.
14 Ég er góði hirðirinn og þekki mína, og mínir þekkja mig,
15 eins og faðirinn þekkir mig og ég þekki föðurinn. Ég legg líf mitt í sölurnar fyrir sauðina.
16 Ég á líka aðra sauði, sem eru ekki úr þessu sauðabyrgi. Þá ber mér einnig að leiða, þeir munu heyra raust mína. Og það verður ein hjörð, einn hirðir.
17 Fyrir því elskar faðirinn mig, að ég legg líf mitt í sölurnar, svo að ég fái það aftur.
18 Enginn tekur það frá mér, heldur legg ég það sjálfur í sölurnar. Ég hef vald til að leggja það í sölurnar og vald til að taka það aftur. Þessa skipan fékk ég frá föður mínum."
19 Aftur varð ágreiningur með Gyðingum út af þessum orðum.
20 Margir þeirra sögðu: "Hann hefur illan anda og er genginn af vitinu. Hvað eruð þér að hlusta á hann?"
21 Aðrir sögðu: "Þessi orð mælir enginn sá, sem hefur illan anda. Mundi illur andi geta opnað augu blindra?"
22 Nú var vígsluhátíðin í Jerúsalem og kominn vetur.
23 Jesús gekk um í súlnagöngum Salómons í helgidóminum.
24 Þá söfnuðust Gyðingar um hann og sögðu við hann: "Hve lengi lætur þú oss í óvissu? Ef þú ert Kristur, þá seg oss það berum orðum."
25 Jesús svaraði þeim: "Ég hef sagt yður það, en þér trúið ekki. Verkin, sem ég gjöri í nafni föður míns, þau vitna um mig,
26 en þér trúið ekki, því að þér eruð ekki úr hópi sauða minna.
27 Mínir sauðir heyra raust mína, og ég þekki þá, og þeir fylgja mér.
28 Ég gef þeim eilíft líf, og þeir skulu aldrei að eilífu glatast, og enginn skal slíta þá úr hendi minni.
29 Faðir minn, sem hefur gefið mér þá, er meiri en allir, og enginn getur slitið þá úr hendi föðurins.
30 Ég og faðirinn erum eitt."
31 Gyðingar tóku aftur upp steina til að grýta hann.
32 Jesús mælti við þá: "Ég hef sýnt yður mörg góð verk frá föður mínum. Fyrir hvert þeirra verka viljið þér grýta mig?"
33 Gyðingar svöruðu honum: "Vér grýtum þig ekki fyrir góð verk, heldur fyrir guðlast, að þú, sem ert maður, gjörir sjálfan þig að Guði."
34 Jesús svaraði þeim: "Er ekki skrifað í lögmáli yðar: ,Ég hef sagt: Þér eruð guðir`?
35 Ef það nefnir þá guði, sem Guðs orð kom til, _ og ritningin verður ekki felld úr gildi, _
36 segið þér þá við mig, sem faðirinn helgaði og sendi í heiminn, að ég guðlasti, af því ég sagði: ,Ég er sonur Guðs`?
37 Ef ég vinn ekki verk föður míns, trúið mér þá ekki,
38 en ef ég vinn þau, þá trúið verkunum, þótt þér trúið mér ekki, svo að þér skiljið og vitið, að faðirinn er í mér og ég í föðurnum."
39 Nú reyndu þeir aftur að grípa hann, en hann gekk úr greipum þeirra.
40 Hann fór aftur burt yfir um Jórdan, þangað sem Jóhannes hafði fyrrum verið að skíra, og var þar um kyrrt.
41 Margir komu til hans. Þeir sögðu: "Víst gjörði Jóhannes ekkert tákn, en allt er það satt, sem hann sagði um þennan mann."
42 Og þarna tóku margir trú á hann.
John 10
King James Version
10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for 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.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep 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 out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which 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.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it 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 have I received of my Father.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.
John 10
New King James Version
Jesus the True Shepherd
10 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by (A)name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a (B)stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
Jesus the Good Shepherd
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came [a]before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 (C)I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 (D)“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a [b]hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and (E)leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and (F)I know My sheep, and (G)am known by My own. 15 (H)As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; (I)and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And (J)other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; (K)and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 “Therefore My Father (L)loves Me, (M)because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I (N)have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. (O)This command I have received from My Father.”
19 Therefore (P)there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. 20 And many of them said, (Q)“He has a demon and is [c]mad. Why do you listen to Him?”
21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. (R)Can a demon (S)open the eyes of the blind?”
The Shepherd Knows His Sheep
22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple, (T)in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in [d]doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. (U)The works that I do in My Father’s name, they (V)bear witness of Me. 26 But (W)you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, [e]as I said to you. 27 (X)My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 (Y)My Father, (Z)who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 (AA)I and My Father are one.”
Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus
31 Then (AB)the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for (AC)blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, (AD)make Yourself God.”
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, (AE)‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, (AF)to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture (AG)cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him (AH)whom the Father sanctified and (AI)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ (AJ)because I said, ‘I am (AK)the Son of God’? 37 (AL)If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, (AM)believe the works, that you may know and [f]believe (AN)that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” 39 (AO)Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.
The Believers Beyond Jordan
40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place (AP)where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed. 41 Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, (AQ)but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.” 42 And many believed in Him there.
