ヨハネの福音書 10
Japanese Living Bible
良い羊飼いであるイエス
10 「よく言っておきます。羊の囲いの中に門から入らないで、柵を乗り越えて忍び込む者は強盗です。 2 羊飼いなら堂々と門から入って来るはずです。 3 門番も羊飼いには門を開けてくれます。彼の声を聞くと、羊は回りに駆け寄って来ます。羊飼いは一匹一匹自分の羊の名を呼んで連れ出すのです。 4 先頭に立つのは羊飼い、羊はそのあとについて行きます。その声を知っているからです。 5 知らない人にはついて行かず、反対に逃げ出します。聞き覚えのない声だからです。」 6 イエスがこのたとえ話をなさっても、聞いている人々には、どういう意味かさっぱりわかりませんでした。
7 そこでイエスは説明なさいました。「いいですか。わたしが羊の出入りする門なのです。 8 わたしより前に来た人々はみな、どろぼうか強盗です。羊は、彼らの言うことは聞きませんでした。 9 わたしは門なのです。この門から入る者は救われます。また、安心して出入りができ、緑の牧草を見つけるのです。 10 強盗は、盗んだり、殺したり、滅ぼしたりするために来ます。しかしわたしが来たのは、いのちをあふれるほど豊かに与えるためです。 11 わたしはまた、良い羊飼いです。良い羊飼いは羊のためにはいのちも捨てます。 12 雇い人は、狼が来れば羊を捨てて、すぐに逃げ出します。彼らは羊の持ち主でも、羊飼いでもないからです。こうして狼は羊にとびかかり、群れを追い散らしてしまいます。 13 雇い人はお金で雇われているだけで、羊のことをほんとうに心にかけているわけではないので、平気で逃げてしまうのです。 14 わたしは良い羊飼いであり、自分の羊を知っています。また、羊もわたしを知っています。 15 わたしの父がわたしを知っておられ、わたしも父を知っているのと同じです。わたしは羊のためにいのちを捨てるのです。 16 このほかに、別の囲いにも羊がいます。その羊をも導かなければなりません。やがてその羊も、わたしの声に注意深く聞き従い、一人の羊飼いのもとに一つの群れとなるのです。 17 わたしが再びいのちを得るためにいのちを投げ出すからこそ、父はわたしを愛してくださいます。 18 だれもわたしの意に反して、わたしを殺すことはできません。わたしが、自分から進んでいのちを捨てるのです。わたしには、いのちを自由に捨て、もう一度それを得る権威と力があるからです。父がこの権威を下さったのです。」
19 この話のことで、ユダヤ人の指導者たちの意見は、また真っ二つに分かれました。 20 「あいつは悪霊につかれているか、それとも気が変になっているかだ。あんなやつの言うことに耳を貸す必要なんかない」と息まく者があるかと思えば、 21 「いいや、とても悪霊につかれた者のことばとは思えない。だいいち、悪霊に盲人の目を開けることなんかできるはずもないだろう」と言い出す者もいました。
宮きよめの祭り
22-23 時は冬でした。宮きよめの祭りがあり、イエスもエルサレムにおられました。ちょうど、宮の中のソロモンの廊と呼ばれる所を歩いておられると、 24 ユダヤ人の指導者たちが来て、回りを取り囲みました。「いつまで気をもませるつもりですか。キリスト（救い主）なら、はっきりそう言ったらいいでしょう。」 25 彼らの質問に、イエスはお答えになりました。「そのことならもう話しました。あなたがたは信じませんでしたが。わたしは、父の御名によって何度も奇跡を行ったでしょう。証拠はそれで十分なはずです。 26 それでも、あなたがたはわたしを信じないのです。あなたがたはわたしの羊の群れに属さないのですから、しかたがありません。 27 わたしの羊はわたしの声を聞き分けます。わたしは彼らを知っているし、彼らもわたしにはついて来ます。 28 わたしは彼らに永遠のいのちを与えるのです。彼らは絶対に滅びることがなく、また、だれもわたしの手から彼らを奪い取ることはできません。 29 父がわたしに下さった群れなのですから。父はだれよりも力があります。わたしの羊をさらうことなど、だれにもできません。 30 わたしと父とは一つです。」
31 これを聞いたユダヤ人の指導者たちは、やにわに石をつかみました。イエスを打ち殺そうというのです。 32 「わたしは神のお心どおり、たくさんの良いわざを行って人々を助けただけです。それのどこが悪くて殺されなければならないのでしょうか。」 33 「なにも良い行いを責めているわけではない。神を汚したからだ。ただの人間のくせに、神だなどとぬかしおって！」 34 「あなたがたの律法には、『わたしは言った。「あなたがたは神々だ」』（詩篇82・6）と書いてあるではありませんか。 35 無効になることのありえない聖書が、神のことばを受けた人々のことを神々と呼んでいるのです。 36 とすれば、父がきよめ分かち、この世にお遣わしになった者が『わたしは神の子だ』と言ったからといって、どうして神を汚すことになるのですか。 37 わたしが神のみわざを行っていないのなら、わたしを信じなくてかまいません。 38 しかし、もし神のみわざを行っているのなら、わたしを信じないにしても、みわざそのものを信用しなさい。父がわたしのうちにおられ、わたしが父のうちにいることがはっきりわかるでしょう。」 39 彼らが、またもイエスを捕らえようとしたので、イエスはうまくその場を切り抜け、エルサレムをあとになさいました。
40 そしてヨルダン川を渡り、ヨハネが最初にバプテスマ（洗礼）を授けていたあたりに滞在されましたが、 41 ここでも、多くの人が、あとからあとから詰めかけて来ます。彼らは口々に言いました。「ヨハネは一つも奇跡を行わなかったけれど、この方について話したことは、何もかもそのとおりになった。」 42 こうして多くの人が、イエスこそメシヤ（救い主）だと信じるようになったのです。
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.
