约翰福音 10
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
羊圈的比喻
10 “我实实在在地告诉你们：人进羊圈，不从门进去，倒从别处爬进去，那人就是贼，就是强盗。 2 从门进去的，才是羊的牧人。 3 看门的就给他开门，羊也听他的声音。他按着名叫自己的羊，把羊领出来。 4 既放出自己的羊来，就在前头走，羊也跟着他，因为认得他的声音。 5 羊不跟着生人，因为不认得他的声音，必要逃跑。” 6 耶稣将这比喻告诉他们，但他们不明白所说的是什么意思。
主是羊的门
7 所以，耶稣又对他们说：“我实实在在地告诉你们：我就是羊的门。 8 凡在我以先来的都是贼，是强盗，羊却不听他们。 9 我就是门，凡从我进来的，必然得救，并且出入得草吃。 10 盗贼来，无非要偷窃、杀害、毁坏；我来了，是要叫羊[a]得生命，并且得的更丰盛。
主是好牧人
11 “我是好牧人，好牧人为羊舍命。 12 若是雇工，不是牧人，羊也不是他自己的，他看见狼来，就撇下羊逃走，狼抓住羊，赶散了羊群。 13 雇工逃走，因他是雇工，并不顾念羊。 14 我是好牧人，我认识我的羊，我的羊也认识我， 15 正如父认识我，我也认识父一样；并且我为羊舍命。 16 我另外有羊，不是这圈里的，我必须领它们来，它们也要听我的声音，并且要合成一群，归一个牧人了。 17 我父爱我，因我将命舍去，好再取回来。 18 没有人夺我的命去，是我自己舍的。我有权柄舍了，也有权柄取回来，这是我从我父所受的命令。”
19 犹太人为这些话又起了纷争。 20 内中有好些人说：“他是被鬼附着，而且疯了！为什么听他呢？” 21 又有人说：“这不是鬼附之人所说的话。鬼岂能叫瞎子的眼睛开了呢？”
22 在耶路撒冷有修殿节，是冬天的时候。 23 耶稣在殿里所罗门的廊下行走。 24 犹太人围着他，说：“你叫我们犹疑不定到几时呢？你若是基督，就明明地告诉我们。” 25 耶稣回答说：“我已经告诉你们，你们不信。我奉我父之名所行的事可以为我作见证， 26 只是你们不信，因为你们不是我的羊。 27 我的羊听我的声音，我也认识他们，他们也跟着我。 28 我又赐给他们永生，他们永不灭亡，谁也不能从我手里把他们夺去。 29 我父把羊赐给我，他比万有都大，谁也不能从我父手里把他们夺去。
主与父原为一
30 “我与父原为一。” 31 犹太人又拿起石头来要打他。 32 耶稣对他们说：“我从父显出许多善事给你们看，你们是为哪一件拿石头打我呢？” 33 犹太人回答说：“我们不是为善事拿石头打你，是为你说僭妄的话；又为你是个人，反将自己当做神。” 34 耶稣说：“你们的律法上岂不是写着‘我曾说你们是神’吗？ 35 经上的话是不能废的。若那些承受神道的人尚且称为神， 36 父所分别为圣又差到世间来的，他自称是神的儿子，你们还向他说‘你说僭妄的话’吗？ 37 我若不行我父的事，你们就不必信我。 38 我若行了，你们纵然不信我，也当信这些事，叫你们又知道又明白：父在我里面，我也在父里面。” 39 他们又要拿他，他却逃出他们的手走了。
40 耶稣又往约旦河外去，到了约翰起初施洗的地方，就住在那里。 41 有许多人来到他那里，他们说：“约翰一件神迹没行过，但约翰指着这人所说的一切话是真的。” 42 在那里信耶稣的人就多了。

John 10
Living Bible
10 “Anyone refusing to walk through the gate into a sheepfold, who sneaks over the wall, must surely be a thief! 2 For a shepherd comes through the gate. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice and come to him; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 He walks ahead of them; and they follow him, for they recognize his voice. 5 They won’t follow a stranger but will run from him, for they don’t recognize his voice.”
6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant, 7 so he explained it to them.
“I am the Gate for the sheep,” he said. 8 “All others who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. 9 Yes, I am the Gate. Those who come in by way of the Gate will be saved and will go in and out and find green pastures. 10 The thief’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.
11 “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 A hired man will run when he sees a wolf coming and will leave the sheep, for they aren’t his and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf leaps on them and scatters the flock. 13 The hired man runs because he is hired and has no real concern for the sheep.
14 “I am the Good Shepherd and know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, too, in another fold. I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice; and there will be one flock with one Shepherd.
17 “The Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may have it back again. 18 No one can kill me without my consent—I lay down my life voluntarily. For I have the right and power to lay it down when I want to and also the right and power to take it again. For the Father has given me this right.”
19 When he said these things, the Jewish leaders were again divided in their opinions about him. 20 Some of them said, “He has a demon or else is crazy. Why listen to a man like that?”
21 Others said, “This doesn’t sound to us like a man possessed by a demon! Can a demon open the eyes of blind men?”
22-23 It was winter,[a] and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of the Dedication Celebration. He was at the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon’s Hall. 24 The Jewish leaders surrounded him and asked, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
25 “I have already told you,[b] and you don’t believe me,” Jesus replied. “The proof is in the miracles I do in the name of my Father. 26 But you don’t believe me because you are not part of my flock. 27 My sheep recognize my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life and they shall never perish. No one shall snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else, so no one can kidnap them from me. 30 I and the Father are one.”
31 Then again the Jewish leaders picked up stones to kill him.
32 Jesus said, “At God’s direction I have done many a miracle to help the people. For which one are you killing me?”
33 They replied, “Not for any good work, but for blasphemy; you, a mere man, have declared yourself to be God.”
34-36 “In your own Law it says that men are gods!” he replied. “So if the Scripture, which cannot be untrue, speaks of those as gods to whom the message of God came, do you call it blasphemy when the one sanctified and sent into the world by the Father says, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 Don’t believe me unless I do miracles of God. 38 But if I do, believe them even if you don’t believe me. Then you will become convinced that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
39 Once again they started to arrest him. But he walked away and left them, 40 and went beyond the Jordan River to stay near the place where John was first baptizing. 41 And many followed him.
“John didn’t do miracles,” they remarked to one another, “but all his predictions concerning this man have come true.” 42 And many came to the decision that he was the Messiah.[c]
