约翰福音 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌是好牧人
10 “我實實在在告訴你們，那不從門進羊圈，倒從別處爬進去的，那人就是賊，就是強盜； 2 那從門進去的，才是羊的牧人。 3 看門的給他開門，羊也聽他的聲音；他按著名字呼叫自己的羊，領牠們出來。 4 他把自己的羊領出來以後，就走在前頭，羊也跟隨他，因為認得他的聲音。 5 牠們決不會跟隨陌生人，反而逃避他，因為不認得陌生人的聲音。” 6 耶穌對他們說了這個譬喻，他們卻不明白他所說的是甚麼。
7 於是耶穌又說：“我實實在在告訴你們，我就是羊的門。 8 所有在我以先來的，都是賊和強盜；羊卻不聽從他們。 9 我就是門，如果有人藉著我進來，就必定得救，並且可以出、可以入，也可以找到草場。 10 賊來了，不過是要偷竊、殺害、毀壞；我來了，是要使羊得生命，並且得的更豐盛。 11 我是好牧人，好牧人為羊捨命。 12 那作雇工不是牧人的，羊也不是自己的，他一見狼來，就把羊撇下逃跑，狼就抓住羊群，把他們驅散了； 13 因為他是個雇工，對羊群漠不關心。 14 我是好牧人，我認識我的羊，我的羊也認識我， 15 好像父認識我，我也認識父一樣；並且我為羊捨命。 16 我還有別的羊，不在這羊圈裡；我必須把牠們領來，牠們也要聽我的聲音，並且要合成一群，歸於一個牧人。 17 父愛我，因為我把生命捨去，好再把它取回來。 18 沒有人能奪去我的生命，是我自己捨去的。我有權把生命捨去，也有權把它取回來；這是我從我的父所領受的命令。”
19 猶太人因著這些話又起了紛爭。 20 他們當中有許多人說：“他是鬼附的，他發瘋了；為甚麼要聽他呢？” 21 另外有人說：“這話不是鬼附的人所說的。鬼怎能使瞎子的眼睛開了呢？”
猶太人棄絕耶穌
22 在耶路撒冷，獻殿節到了，那時是冬天。 23 耶穌在殿的所羅門廊上走過， 24 猶太人圍著他，對他說：“你使我們心裡懸疑不定，要到幾時呢？如果你是基督，就公開地告訴我們吧！” 25 耶穌對他們說：“我已經告訴你們，你們卻不相信；我奉我父的名所作的事，可以為我作證。 26 只是你們不信，因為你們不是我的羊。 27 我的羊聽我的聲音，我也認識他們，他們也跟隨我。 28 我賜給他們永生，他們永不滅亡，誰也不能把他們從我手裡奪去。 29 那位把羊群賜給我的父比一切都大，也沒有人能把他們從我父的手裡奪去。 30 我與父原為一。”
31 猶太人又拿起石頭要打他。 32 耶穌對他們說：“我把許多從父那裡來的善事顯給你們看，你們因哪一件要用石頭打我呢？” 33 猶太人對他說：“我們不是因為善事用石頭打你，而是因為你說了僭妄的話；又因為你是個人，竟然把自己當作 神。” 34 耶穌說：“你們的律法上不是寫著‘我說你們是神’嗎？ 35 聖經是不能廢除的，如果那些承受 神的道的人， 神尚且稱他們是神， 36 那麼父所分別為聖又差到世上來的，他自稱是 神的兒子，你們就說他說了僭妄 神的話嗎？ 37 我若不作我父的事，你們就不必信我； 38 我若作了，你們縱然不信我，也應當信這些事，好使你們確實知道，我父是在我裡面，我也在父裡面。” 39 他們又要逮捕耶穌，他卻從他們的手中逃脫了。
40 耶穌又往約旦河東去，到約翰從前施洗的地方，住在那裡。 41 許多人到他那裡去，說：“約翰沒有行過一件神蹟，但約翰指著這人所說的一切話，都是真實的。” 42 在那裡就有許多人信了耶穌。

Jesus as the Good Shepherd
10 “Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up at some other place—that one is a thief and a robber. 2 But the one who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 For this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 Whenever he sends out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what it was that he was saying to them.
7 Then Jesus said to them[a] again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All those who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep do not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture. 10 The thief comes only[b] so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have it[c] abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf approaching and abandons the sheep and runs away—and the wolf seizes them and scatters them[d]— 13 because he is a hired hand and he is not concerned[e] about the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock—one shepherd. 17 Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down voluntarily.[f] I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words. 20 And many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?” 21 Others were saying, “These are not the words of one who is possessed by a demon! A demon is not able to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”[g]
Jesus at the Feast of the Dedication
22 Then the feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon. 24 So the Jews surrounded him and began to say[h] to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense?[i] If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe! The deeds that I do in the name of my Father, these testify about me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep! 27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish forever,[j] and no one will seize them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them[k] to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize them[l] from the Father’s hand. 30 The Father and I are one.”
31 Then[m] the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, although you[n] are a man, make yourself to be God!” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?[o] 35 If he called them ‘gods’ to whom the word of God came—and the scripture cannot be broken— 36 do you say about he whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not do the deeds of my Father, do not believe me. 38 But if I am doing them,[p] even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.
40 And he went away again on the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there. 41 And many came to him and began to say,[q] “John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true!” 42 And many believed in him there.

The Parable of the Shepherd
10 Jesus said, “I am telling you the truth: the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The man who goes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him; the sheep hear his voice as he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out. 4 When he has brought them out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. 5 They will not follow someone else; instead, they will run away from such a person, because they do not know his voice.”
6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he meant.
Jesus the Good Shepherd
7 So Jesus said again, “I am telling you the truth: I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All others who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. Those who come in by me will be saved; they will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life—life in all its fullness.
11 (A)“I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep. 12 When the hired man, who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away; so the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hired man runs away because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep. 14-15 (B)I am the good shepherd. As the Father knows me and I know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me. And I am willing to die for them. 16 There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheep pen. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my voice, and they will become[a] one flock with one shepherd.
17 “The Father loves me because I am willing to give up my life, in order that I may receive it back again. 18 No one takes my life away from me. I give it up of my own free will. I have the right to give it up, and I have the right to take it back. This is what my Father has commanded me to do.”
19 Again there was a division among the people because of these words. 20 Many of them were saying, “He has a demon! He is crazy! Why do you listen to him?”
21 But others were saying, “A man with a demon could not talk like this! How could a demon give sight to blind people?”
Jesus Is Rejected
22 (C)It was winter, and the Festival of the Dedication of the Temple was being celebrated in Jerusalem. 23 Jesus was walking in Solomon's Porch in the Temple, 24 when the people gathered around him and asked, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? Tell us the plain truth: are you the Messiah?”
25 Jesus answered, “I have already told you, but you would not believe me. The deeds I do by my Father's authority speak on my behalf; 26 but you will not believe, for you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never die. No one can snatch them away from me. 29 (D)What my Father has given me is greater[b] than everything, and no one can snatch them away from the Father's care. 30 The Father and I are one.”
31 Then the people again picked up stones to throw at him. 32 Jesus said to them, “I have done many good deeds in your presence which the Father gave me to do; for which one of these do you want to stone me?”
33 (E)They answered, “We do not want to stone you because of any good deeds, but because of your blasphemy! You are only a man, but you are trying to make yourself God!”
34 (F)Jesus answered, “It is written in your own Law that God said, ‘You are gods.’ 35 We know that what the scripture says is true forever; and God called those people gods, the people to whom his message was given. 36 As for me, the Father chose me and sent me into the world. How, then, can you say that I blaspheme because I said that I am the Son of God? 37 Do not believe me, then, if I am not doing the things my Father wants me to do. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, you should at least believe my deeds, in order that you may know once and for all that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father.”
39 Once more they tried to seize Jesus, but he slipped out of their hands.
40 (G)Jesus then went back again across the Jordan River to the place where John had been baptizing, and he stayed there. 41 Many people came to him. “John performed no miracles,” they said, “but everything he said about this man was true.” 42 And many people there believed in him.
