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)

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.

Den gode herden
10 Jag säger er sanningen: Den som inte går in i fårfållan genom porten utan tar sig in från annat håll, han är en tjuv och en rövare. 2 Men den som går in genom porten är fårens herde. 3 För honom öppnar portvakten, och fåren lyssnar till hans röst. Han kallar på sina får och nämner dem vid namn och för ut dem. 4 När han har fört ut alla sina får går han före dem, och fåren följer honom eftersom de känner hans röst. 5 (A) Men en främling följer de inte utan flyr från honom, för de känner inte främlingars röst." 6 (B) Denna liknelse berättade Jesus för dem, men de förstod inte vad han ville säga dem.
7 Då sade Jesus än en gång: "Jag säger er sanningen: Jag är porten till fåren. 8 (C) Alla som har kommit före mig[a] är tjuvar och rövare, men fåren har inte lyssnat till dem. 9 Jag är porten. Den som går in genom mig ska bli frälst, och han ska gå in och gå ut och finna bete. 10 (D) Tjuven kommer bara för att stjäla, slakta och döda. Jag har kommit för att de ska ha liv, och liv i överflöd.
11 (E) Jag är den gode herden. Den gode herden ger sitt liv för fåren. 12 (F) Den som är lejd och inte är herden som äger fåren, han överger fåren och flyr när han ser vargen komma, och vargen river dem och skingrar hjorden. 13 Den som är lejd bryr sig inte om fåren.
14 (G) Jag är den gode herden. Jag känner mina får, och mina får känner mig, 15 liksom Fadern känner mig och jag känner Fadern. Och jag ger mitt liv för fåren. 16 (H) Jag har också andra får som inte hör till den här fållan[b]. Också dem måste jag leda, och de kommer att lyssna till min röst. Så ska det bli en hjord och en herde. 17 Fadern älskar mig därför att jag ger mitt liv för att sedan ta det tillbaka. 18 (I) Ingen tar det ifrån mig, utan jag ger det av fri vilja. Jag har makt att ge det, och jag har makt att ta tillbaka det. Det budet har jag fått av min Far."
19 (J) Efter de orden blev det på nytt splittring bland judarna. 20 (K) Många av dem sade: "Han är besatt och galen. Varför lyssnar ni på honom?" 21 Andra sade: "Så talar inte en som är besatt. En ond ande kan väl inte öppna ögonen på blinda?"
Jesu enhet med Fadern
22 Nu kom tempelinvigningens högtid[c] i Jerusalem. Det var vinter, 23 (L) och Jesus gick omkring i Salomos pelarhall[d] i templet. 24 (M) Då omringade judarna honom och frågade: "Hur länge ska du hålla oss i ovisshet? Om du är Messias, så säg det öppet till oss!" 25 (N) Jesus svarade: "Jag har sagt det till er, men ni tror det inte. Gärningarna som jag gör i min Fars namn vittnar om mig. 26 (O) Men ni tror inte, för ni hör inte till mina får. 27 Mina får lyssnar till min röst, och jag känner dem, och de följer mig. 28 (P) Jag ger dem evigt liv. De ska aldrig någonsin gå förlorade, och ingen ska rycka dem ur min hand. 29 Min Far som gett mig dem[e] är större än allt, och ingen kan rycka dem ur min Fars hand. 30 (Q) Jag och Fadern är ett."
31 (R) Än en gång tog judarna upp stenar för att stena honom. 32 Jesus sade till dem: "Jag har visat er många goda gärningar från Fadern. För vilken av dem tänker ni stena mig?" 33 (S) Judarna svarade: "Det är inte för någon god gärning vi tänker stena dig, utan för att du hädar och gör dig själv till Gud fast du är en människa."
34 Jesus svarade dem: "Står det inte skrivet i er lag[f]: Jag har sagt att ni är gudar? 35 (T) Om han nu kallar dem som fick Guds ord för gudar – och Skriften kan inte upphävas – 36 hur kan ni då säga till mig som Fadern har helgat och sänt till världen att jag hädar, därför att jag sagt: Jag är Guds Son? 37 Om jag inte gör min Fars gärningar, så tro mig inte. 38 (U) Men om jag gör dem, tro då på gärningarna om ni inte kan tro på mig. Då ska ni inse och förstå att Fadern är i mig och jag i Fadern." 39 (V) De försökte gripa honom igen, men han drog sig undan deras grepp.
40 (W) Sedan gick han tillbaka till stället på andra sidan Jordan där Johannes hade varit den första tiden när han döpte. Där stannade han. 41 Många kom till honom, och de sade: "Även om inte Johannes gjorde något tecken, var allt han sade om Jesus sant." 42 Och många kom där till tro på honom.
