好牧人

10 耶稣说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,不从门进羊圈而从别处爬进去的人就是贼,是强盗。 从门进去的才是羊的牧人, 看门的会给他开门,羊也听他的声音。他按名字叫自己的羊,把它们领出来。 领出来之后,自己便走在前面,羊群也跟着他,因为羊认得他的声音。 羊从不跟随陌生人,见了陌生人就逃跑,因为它们不认得陌生人的声音。”

耶稣讲了这个比喻,但听的人都不明白祂的意思。 于是祂又说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,我就是羊的门。 在我以前来的,都是贼,是强盗,羊不听从他们。 我就是门,从我进来的必定得救,并且会安然出入,找到草吃。 10 盗贼来,无非是要偷窃、杀害、毁坏。但我来是要羊得生命,并且得到丰盛的生命。

11 “我是好牧人,好牧人为羊舍命。 12 如果是雇工,不是牧人,羊也不是他的,狼一来,他必撇下羊逃命。狼就会抓住羊,把羊群驱散。 13 他逃走,因为他是雇工,并不在乎羊。 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,并且我为羊舍命。 16 我还有别的羊不在这羊圈里,我必须领他们回来,他们也必听我的声音。这样,我所有的羊将要合成一群,由一个牧人来带领。 17 父爱我,因为我舍弃自己的生命,为了再得回生命。 18 没有人能夺走我的生命,我是甘心舍弃的。我有权舍弃,也有权得回,这是我从父那里得到的命令。”

19 犹太人因这番话又起了纷争。 20 他们当中好些人说:“祂被鬼附身了!祂疯了!何必听祂的?”

21 又有些人说:“被鬼附身的人不会说这种话的,鬼能医好瞎眼的人吗?”

被犹太人弃绝

22 耶路撒冷庆祝修殿节的时候到了,是在冬天。 23 当耶稣走过圣殿的所罗门廊时, 24 一群犹太人围着祂说:“你让我们困惑、猜疑要到什么时候呢?如果你是基督,就清楚地告诉我们吧!”

25 耶稣回答说:“我已经告诉你们了,你们却不信。我奉我父的名所行的神迹也为我做见证, 26 只是你们不肯相信,因为你们不是我的羊。 27 我的羊听我的声音,我也认识他们,他们也跟随我。 28 我要赐他们永生,他们永不灭亡。没有人能从我的手里把他们抢走。 29 我父把羊赐给我,祂比万物都大,没有人能从祂手中把羊抢走。 30 我和父本为一。”

31 于是犹太人又拿起石头要打祂。 32 耶稣就问他们:“我将许多从父而来的美善之事显给你们看,你们为了哪一件事拿石头打我呢?”

33 犹太人回答说:“我们不是因为你做的善事打你,而是因为你说了亵渎的话,你是人,却把自己当作上帝。”

34 耶稣说:“你们的律法书上不是写着‘我曾说你们都是神’吗? 35 圣经上的话是不能废的,既然上帝称那些承受祂道的人为神, 36 那么我是父分别出来又差到世上来的,我说自己是上帝的儿子,难道是亵渎吗? 37 如果我不做我父的事,你们不必信我。 38 但如果我做了,你们纵然不信我,也应该相信我所做的事,这样你们就会知道、领悟父在我里面,我也在父里面。”

39 他们又要抓耶稣,但祂从他们手中逃脱了。

40 后来,耶稣到了约旦河东岸约翰从前施洗的地方,在那里住下来。 41 许多人来到祂那里。他们说:“虽然约翰没有行过神迹,可是约翰所说关于这人的事全是真的。” 42 在那里许多人信了耶稣。

10 »Sannerligen, sannerligen säger jag eder: Den som icke går in i fårahuset genom dörren, utan stiger in någon annan väg, han är en tjuv och en rövare.

Men den som går in genom dörren, han är fårens herde.

För honom öppnar dörrvaktaren, och fåren lyssna till hans röst, och han kallar sina får vid namn och för dem ut.

Och när han har släppt ut alla sina får, går han framför dem, och fåren följa honom, ty de känna hans röst.

Men en främmande följa de alls icke, utan fly bort ifrån honom, ty de känna icke de främmandes röst.»

Så talade Jesus till dem i förtäckta ord; men de förstodo icke vad det var som han talade till dem.

Åter sade Jesus till dem: »Sannerligen, sannerligen säger jag eder: Jag är dörren in till fåren.

Alla de som hava kommit före mig äro tjuvar och rövare, men fåren hava icke lyssnat till dem.

Jag är dörren; den som går in genom mig, han skall bliva frälst, och han skall få gå ut och in och skall finna bete.

10 Tjuven kommer allenast för att stjäla och slakta och förgöra. Jag har kommit, för att de skola hava liv och hava över nog.

11 Jag är den gode herden. En god herde giver sitt liv för fåren.

12 Men den som är lejd och icke är herden själv, när han, den som fåren icke tillhöra, ser ulven komma, då övergiver han fåren och flyr, och ulven rövar bort dem och förskingrar dem.

13 Han är ju lejd och frågar icke efter fåren.

14 Jag är den gode herden, och jag känner mina får, och mina får känna mig,

15 såsom Fadern känner mig, och såsom jag känner Fadern; och jag giver mitt liv för fåren.

16 Jag har ock andra får, som icke höra till detta fårahus; också dem måste jag draga till mig, och de skola lyssna till min röst. Så skall det bliva en hjord och en herde.

17 Därför älskar Fadern mig, att jag giver mitt liv -- för att sedan taga igen det.

18 Ingen tager det ifrån mig, utan jag giver det av fri vilja. Jag har makt att giva det, och jag har makt att taga igen det. Det budet har jag fått av min Fader.»

19 För dessa ords skull uppstodo åter stridiga meningar bland judarna.

20 Många av dem sade: »Han är besatt av en ond ande och är från sina sinnen. Varför hören I på honom?»

21 Andra åter sade: »Sådana ord talar icke den som är besatt. Icke kan väl en ond ande öppna blindas ögon?»

22 Därefter inföll tempelinvigningens högtid i Jerusalem. Det var nu vinter,

23 och Jesus gick fram och åter i Salomos pelargång i helgedomen.

24 Då samlade sig judarna omkring honom och sade till honom: »Huru länge vill du hålla oss i ovisshet? Om du är Messias, så säg oss det öppet.»

25 Jesus svarade dem: »Jag har sagt eder det, men I tron mig icke. De gärningar som jag gör i min Faders namn, de vittna om mig.

26 Men I tron mig icke, ty I ären icke av mina får.

27 Mina får lyssna till min röst, och jag känner dem, och de följa mig.

28 Och jag giver dem evigt liv, och de skola aldrig någonsin förgås, och ingen skall rycka dem ur min hand.

29 Min Fader, som har givit mig dem, är större än alla, och ingen kan rycka dem ur min Faders hand.

30 Jag och Fadern äro ett.»

31 Då togo judarna åter upp stenar för att stena honom.

32 Men Jesus sade till dem: »Många goda gärningar, som komma från min Fader, har jag låtit eder se. För vilken av dessa gärningar är det som I viljen stena mig?»

33 Judarna svarade honom: »Det är icke för någon god gärnings skull som vi vilja stena dig, utan därför att du hädar och gör dig själv till Gud, du som är en människa.»

34 Jesus svarade dem: »Det är ju så skrivet i eder lag: 'Jag har sagt att I ären gudar'.

35 Om han nu har kallat för gudar dem som Guds ord kom till -- och skriften kan ju icke bliva om intet --

36 huru kunnen då I, på den grund att jag har sagt mig vara Guds Son, anklaga mig för hädelse, mig som Fadern har helgat och sänt i världen?

37 Gör jag icke min Faders gärningar, så tron mig icke.

38 Men gör jag dem, så tron gärningarna, om I än icke tron mig; då skolen I fatta och förstå att Fadern är i mig, och att jag är i Fadern.»

39 Då ville de åter gripa honom, men han gick sin väg, undan deras händer.

40 Sedan begav han sig åter bort till det ställe på andra sidan Jordan, där Johannes först hade döpt, och stannade kvar där.

41 Och många kommo till honom. Och de sade: »Väl gjorde Johannes intet tecken, men allt vad Johannes sade om denne var sant.»

42 Och många kommo där till tro på honom.

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. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by (A)name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a (B)stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

Jesus the Good Shepherd

Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came [a]before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. (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.

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.

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

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.
