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.

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.(A) 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.(B) 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice.(C) He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.(D) 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.(E) 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech,(F) but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.(G)
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am(H) the gate(I) for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me(J) are thieves and robbers,(K) but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,(L) and have it to the full.(M)
11 “I am(N) the good shepherd.(O) The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.(P) 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.(Q) Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd;(R) I know my sheep(S) and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father(T)—and I lay down my life for the sheep.(U) 16 I have other sheep(V) that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock(W) and one shepherd.(X) 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life(Y)—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.(Z) I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”(AA)
19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided.(AB) 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed(AC) and raving mad.(AD) Why listen to him?”
21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon.(AE) Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”(AF)
Further Conflict Over Jesus’ Claims
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication[b] at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.(AG) 24 The Jews(AH) who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”(AI)
25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you,(AJ) but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,(AK) 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.(AL) 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them,(AM) and they follow me.(AN) 28 I give them eternal life,(AO) and they shall never perish;(AP) no one will snatch them out of my hand.(AQ) 29 My Father, who has given them to me,(AR) is greater than all[c];(AS) no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”(AT)
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,(AU) 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”(AV)
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(AW) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[d]?(AX) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(AY) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(AZ)— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(BA) as his very own(BB) and sent into the world?(BC) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(BD) 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.(BE) 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”(BF) 39 Again they tried to seize him,(BG) but he escaped their grasp.(BH)
40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan(BI) to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign,(BJ) all that John said about this man was true.”(BK) 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.(BL)

I Am the Good Shepherd
10 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 (A)A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 This figure of speech Jesus (B)used with them, but they (C)did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (D)I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, (E)he will be saved and will go in and out and (F)find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and (G)kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11 (H)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd (I)lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is (J)a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and (K)leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and (L)scatters them. 13 He flees because (M)he is a hired hand and (N)cares nothing for the sheep. 14 (O)I am the good shepherd. (P)I know my own and (Q)my own know me, 15 (R)just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and (S)I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And (T)I have other sheep that are not of this fold. (U)I must bring them also, and (V)they will listen to my voice. So there will be (W)one flock, (X)one shepherd. 17 (Y)For this reason the Father loves me, (Z)because (AA)I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 (AB)No one takes it from me, but (AC)I lay it down (AD)of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and (AE)I have authority to take it up again. (AF)This charge I have received from my Father.”
19 (AG)There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. 20 Many of them said, (AH)“He has a demon, and (AI)is insane; why listen to him?” 21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. (AJ)Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
I and the Father Are One
22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, (AK)in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are (AL)the Christ, (AM)tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. (AN)The works that I do (AO)in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but (AP)you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 (AQ)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 (AR)I give them eternal life, and (AS)they will never perish, and (AT)no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, (AU)who has given them to me,[a] (AV)is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of (AW)the Father's hand. 30 (AX)I and the Father are one.”
31 (AY)The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but (AZ)for blasphemy, because you, being a man, (BA)make yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in (BB)your Law, (BC)‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be (BD)broken— 36 do you say of him whom (BE)the Father consecrated and (BF)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because (BG)I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 (BH)If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, (BI)even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that (BJ)the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 (BK)Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place (BL)where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. 41 And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but (BM)everything that John said about this man was true.” 42 And (BN)many believed in him there.

Ang Biblia (1978)
10 Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ang pumapasok sa hindi pintuan ng kulungan ng mga tupa kundi umaakyat sa ibang daan, ang gayon ay tulisan at magnanakaw.
2 Datapuwa't ang pumapasok sa pintuan ay siyang pastor ng mga tupa.
3 Binubuksan siya ng bantay-pinto; at dinirinig ng mga tupa ang kaniyang tinig: at tinatawag ang kaniyang sariling mga tupa sa pangalan, at sila'y inihahatid sa labas.
4 Pagka nailabas na niya ang lahat ng sariling kaniya, ay pinangungunahan niya sila, at nagsisisunod sa kaniya ang mga tupa: sapagka't nakikilala nila ang kaniyang tinig.
5 At sa iba'y hindi sila magsisisunod, kundi magsisitakas sa kaniya: sapagka't hindi nila nakikilala ang tinig ng mga iba.
6 Sinalita ni Jesus sa kanila ang talinghagang ito: (A)datapuwa't hindi nila napagunawa kung anong mga bagay ang sa kanila'y sinasalita.
7 Muli ngang sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ako ang pintuan ng mga tupa.
8 Ang lahat ng nangauna sa aking nagsiparito ay mga magnanakaw at mga tulisan: datapuwa't hindi sila dininig ng mga tupa.
9 Ako (B)ang pintuan; ang sinomang taong pumasok sa akin, ay siya'y maliligtas, at papasok at lalabas, at (C)makasusumpong ng pastulan.
10 Hindi pumaparito ang magnanakaw, kundi upang magnakaw, at pumatay, at pumuksa: ako'y naparito upang sila'y magkaroon ng buhay, at magkaroon ng kasaganaan nito.
11 Ako ang mabuting pastor: (D)ibinibigay ng mabuting pastor ang kaniyang buhay dahil sa mga tupa.
12 Ang nagpapaupa, at hindi ang pastor, na hindi may-ari ng mga tupa, ay nakikitang dumarating ang lobo, at (E)pinababayaan ang mga tupa, at tumatakas, at inaagaw sila ng lobo, at pinapangangalat:
13 Siya'y tumatakas sapagka't siya'y upahan, at hindi ipinagmamalasakit ang mga tupa.
14 Ako ang mabuting pastor; at (F)nakikilala ko ang sariling akin, at ang sariling akin ay nakikilala ako,
15 Gaya ng pagkakilala (G)sa akin ng Ama, at ng sa Ama ay pagkakilala ko; (H)at ibinibigay ko ang aking buhay dahil sa mga tupa.
16 At mayroon akong (I)ibang mga tupa, na hindi sa kulungang ito: (J)sila'y kailangan din namang dalhin ko, at kanilang diringgin ang aking tinig; at sila'y magiging isang kawan, at magkakaroon ng isang pastor.
17 (K)Dahil dito'y sinisinta ako ng Ama, (L)sapagka't ibinibigay ko ang aking buhay, upang kunin kong muli.
18 Sinoma'y hindi nagaalis sa akin nito, kundi kusa kong ibinibigay. May kapangyarihan akong magbigay nito, at (M)may kapangyarihan akong kumuhang muli. Tinanggap ko ang utos na (N)ito sa aking Ama.
19 At (O)muling nagkaroon ng isang pagbabahabahagi sa gitna ng mga Judio dahil sa mga salitang ito.
20 At sinasabi ng marami sa kanila, (P)Mayroon siyang demonio, at (Q)siya'y nauulol; bakit ninyo siya pinakikinggan?
21 Sinasabi ng mga iba, Hindi sa inaalihan ng demonio ang mga sabing ito. (R)Maaari bagang ang demonio ay makapagpadilat ng mga mata ng bulag?
22 At niyao'y kapistahan ng pagtatalaga sa Jerusalem:
23 Noo'y tagginaw; at naglalakad si Jesus sa templo sa (S)portiko ni Salomon.
24 Nilibot nga siya ng mga Judio, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Hanggang kailan mo pa baga pagaalinlanganin kami? Kung ikaw ang Cristo, ay sabihin mong maliwanag sa amin.
25 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, Sinabi ko sa inyo, at hindi kayo nagsisampalataya: (T)ang mga gawang ginagawa ko sa pangalan ng aking Ama, ay siyang nangagpapatotoo sa akin.
26 Datapuwa't hindi kayo nagsisampalataya, sapagka't hindi kayo sa aking mga tupa.
27 Dinirinig ng (U)aking mga tupa ang aking tinig, at sila'y aking nakikilala, at sila'y nagsisisunod sa akin:
28 At sila'y binibigyan ko ng walang hanggang buhay; at kailan ma'y (V)hindi sila malilipol, at hindi sila aagawin ng sinoman sa aking kamay.
29 Ang aking Ama, na sa kanila ay nagbigay sa akin, ay lalong dakila kay sa lahat; at hindi sila maaagaw ninoman sa kamay ng Ama.
30 Ako at ang Ama ay (W)iisa.
31 (X)Nagsidampot uli ng mga bato ang mga Judio upang siya'y batuhin.
32 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, Maraming mabubuting gawa na mula sa Ama ang ipinakita ko sa inyo; alin sa mga gawang yaon ang ibinabato ninyo sa akin?
33 Sinagot siya ng mga Judio, Hindi dahil sa mabuting gawa ay binabato ka namin, kundi sa (Y)pamumusong; at sapagka't (Z)ikaw, bagaman ikaw ay tao, ay nagpapakunuwari kang Dios.
34 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, Hindi baga nasusulat sa (AA)inyong kautusan, (AB)Aking sinabi, Kayo'y mga dios?
35 Kung tinawag niyang mga dios, yaong mga dinatnan ng salita ng Dios (at hindi mangyayaring sirain ang kasulatan),
36 Sinasabi baga ninyo tungkol sa kaniya, na (AC)pinabanal ng Ama at sinugo sa sanglibutan, Ikaw ay namumusong; (AD)sapagka't sinasabi ko, (AE)Ako ang anak ng Dios?
37 Kung hindi ko ginagawa ang mga gawa ng aking Ama, ay huwag ninyo akong sampalatayanan.
38 Datapuwa't kung ginagawa ko, ang mga yaon (AF)kahit hindi kayo magsisampalataya sa akin, ay magsisampalataya kayo sa mga gawa; upang maalaman ninyo at mapagunawa (AG)na ang Ama ay nasa akin, at ako'y nasa Ama.
39 Muling pinagsikapan nilang siya'y hulihin: at siya'y tumakas sa kanilang mga kamay.
40 At siya'y muling naparoon sa dako pa roon ng Jordan (AH)sa dako nang una'y pinagbautismuhan ni Juan; at siya'y tumira doon.
41 At marami ang mga nagsiparoon sa kaniya; at kanilang sinabi, Katotohanang si Juan ay hindi gumawa ng tanda: (AI)nguni't lahat ng mga bagay na sinalita ni Juan tungkol sa taong ito ay totoo.
42 At (AJ)marami ang mga nagsisampalataya sa kaniya roon.
