10 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, celui qui n'entre pas par la porte dans la bergerie, mais qui y monte par ailleurs, est un voleur et un brigand.

Mais celui qui entre par la porte est le berger des brebis.

Le portier lui ouvre, et les brebis entendent sa voix; il appelle par leur nom les brebis qui lui appartiennent, et il les conduit dehors.

Lorsqu'il a fait sortir toutes ses propres brebis, il marche devant elles; et les brebis le suivent, parce qu'elles connaissent sa voix.

Elles ne suivront point un étranger; mais elles fuiront loin de lui, parce qu'elles ne connaissent pas la voix des étrangers.

Jésus leur dit cette parabole, mais ils ne comprirent pas de quoi il leur parlait.

Jésus leur dit encore: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, je suis la porte des brebis.

Tous ceux qui sont venus avant moi sont des voleurs et des brigands; mais les brebis ne les ont point écoutés.

Je suis la porte. Si quelqu'un entre par moi, il sera sauvé; il entrera et il sortira, et il trouvera des pâturages.

10 Le voleur ne vient que pour dérober, égorger et détruire; moi, je suis venu afin que les brebis aient la vie, et qu'elles soient dans l'abondance.

11 Je suis le bon berger. Le bon berger donne sa vie pour ses brebis.

12 Mais le mercenaire, qui n'est pas le berger, et à qui n'appartiennent pas les brebis, voit venir le loup, abandonne les brebis, et prend la fuite; et le loup les ravit et les disperse.

13 Le mercenaire s'enfuit, parce qu'il est mercenaire, et qu'il ne se met point en peine des brebis. Je suis le bon berger.

14 Je connais mes brebis, et elles me connaissent,

15 comme le Père me connaît et comme je connais le Père; et je donne ma vie pour mes brebis.

16 J'ai encore d'autres brebis, qui ne sont pas de cette bergerie; celles-là, il faut que je les amène; elles entendront ma voix, et il y aura un seul troupeau, un seul berger.

17 Le Père m'aime, parce que je donne ma vie, afin de la reprendre.

18 Personne ne me l'ôte, mais je la donne de moi-même; j'ai le pouvoir de la donner, et j'ai le pouvoir de la reprendre: tel est l'ordre que j'ai reçu de mon Père.

19 Il y eut de nouveau, à cause de ces paroles, division parmi les Juifs.

20 Plusieurs d'entre eux disaient: Il a un démon, il est fou; pourquoi l'écoutez-vous?

21 D'autres disaient: Ce ne sont pas les paroles d'un démoniaque; un démon peut-il ouvrir les yeux des aveugles?

22 On célébrait à Jérusalem la fête de la Dédicace. C'était l'hiver.

23 Et Jésus se promenait dans le temple, sous le portique de Salomon.

24 Les Juifs l'entourèrent, et lui dirent: Jusques à quand tiendras-tu notre esprit en suspens? Si tu es le Christ, dis-le nous franchement.

25 Jésus leur répondit: Je vous l'ai dit, et vous ne croyez pas. Les oeuvres que je fais au nom de mon Père rendent témoignage de moi.

26 Mais vous ne croyez pas, parce que vous n'êtes pas de mes brebis.

27 Mes brebis entendent ma voix; je les connais, et elles me suivent.

28 Je leur donne la vie éternelle; et elles ne périront jamais, et personne ne les ravira de ma main.

29 Mon Père, qui me les a données, est plus grand que tous; et personne ne peut les ravir de la main de mon Père.

30 Moi et le Père nous sommes un.

31 Alors les Juifs prirent de nouveau des pierres pour le lapider.

32 Jésus leur dit: Je vous ai fait voir plusieurs bonnes oeuvres venant de mon Père: pour laquelle me lapidez-vous?

33 Les Juifs lui répondirent: Ce n'est point pour une bonne oeuvre que nous te lapidons, mais pour un blasphème, et parce que toi, qui es un homme, tu te fais Dieu.

34 Jésus leur répondit: N'est-il pas écrit dans votre loi: J'ai dit: Vous êtes des dieux?

35 Si elle a appelé dieux ceux à qui la parole de Dieu a été adressée, et si l'Écriture ne peut être anéantie,

36 celui que le Père a sanctifié et envoyé dans le monde, vous lui dites: Tu blasphèmes! Et cela parce que j'ai dit: Je suis le Fils de Dieu.

37 Si je ne fais pas les oeuvres de mon Père, ne me croyez pas.

38 Mais si je les fais, quand même vous ne me croyez point, croyez à ces oeuvres, afin que vous sachiez et reconnaissiez que le Père est en moi et que je suis dans le Père.

39 Là-dessus, ils cherchèrent encore à le saisir, mais il s'échappa de leurs mains.

40 Jésus s'en alla de nouveau au delà du Jourdain, dans le lieu où Jean avait d'abord baptisé. Et il y demeura.

41 Beaucoup de gens vinrent à lui, et ils disaient: Jean n'a fait aucun miracle; mais tout ce que Jean a dit de cet homme était vrai.

42 Et, dans ce lieu-là, plusieurs crurent en lui.

Parable of the Good Shepherd

10 “Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is (A)a thief and a robber. But the one who enters by the door is (B)a shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep listen to (C)his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and (D)leads them out. When he puts all his own sheep outside, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know (E)his voice. However, a stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know (F)the voice of strangers.” Jesus told them this (G)figure of speech, but they did not understand what the things which He was saying to them [a]meant.

So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly I say to you, I am (H)the door of the sheep. All those who came before Me are (I)thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. (J)I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they (K)would have life, and [b]have it abundantly.

11 (L)I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd (M)lays down His life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand, and not a (N)shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the flock. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep. 14 (O)I am the good shepherd, and (P)I know My own, and My own know Me, 15 just as (Q)the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and (R)I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And I have (S)other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become (T)one flock, with (U)one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves Me, because I (V)lay down My life so that I may take it back. 18 (W)No one has taken it away from Me, but I (X)lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. (Y)This commandment I received from My Father.”

19 (Z)Dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words. 20 Many of them were saying, “He (AA)has a demon and (AB)is insane. Why do you listen to Him?” 21 Others were saying, “These are not the words of one who is (AC)demon-possessed. (AD)A demon cannot open the eyes of those who are blind, can it?”

Jesus Asserts His Deity

22 At that time the [c]Feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem; 23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple area, in the portico of (AE)Solomon. 24 (AF)The Jews then surrounded Him and began saying to Him, “How long [d]will You keep us in suspense? If You are the [e]Christ, tell us (AG)plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, (AH)I told you, and you do not believe; (AI)the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me. 26 But you do not believe, because (AJ)you are not of My sheep. 27 My sheep (AK)listen to My voice, and (AL)I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give them (AM)eternal life, and they will never perish; and (AN)no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 [f]My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 (AO)I and the Father are [g]one.”

31 The Jews (AP)picked up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus replied to them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” 33 The Jews answered Him, “We are not stoning You for a good work, but for (AQ)blasphemy; and because You, being a man, (AR)make Yourself out to be God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in (AS)your (AT)Law: ‘(AU)I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be nullified), 36 are you saying of Him whom the Father (AV)sanctified and (AW)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘(AX)I am the Son of God’? 37 (AY)If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe (AZ)the works, so that you may [h]know and understand that (BA)the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” 39 Therefore (BB)they were seeking again to arrest Him, and (BC)He eluded their grasp.

40 And He went away (BD)again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He stayed there. 41 Many came to Him and were saying, “While John performed no (BE)sign, yet (BF)everything John said about this Man was true.” 42 And (BG)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.

10 Yn wir, yn wir, meddaf i chwi, Yr hwn nid yw yn myned i mewn drwy’r drws i gorlan y defaid, eithr sydd yn dringo ffordd arall, lleidr ac ysbeiliwr yw. Ond yr hwn sydd yn myned i mewn drwy’r drws, bugail y defaid ydyw. I hwn y mae’r drysor yn agoryd, ac y mae’r defaid yn gwrando ar ei lais ef: ac y mae efe yn galw ei ddefaid ei hun erbyn eu henw, ac yn eu harwain hwy allan. Ac wedi iddo yrru allan ei ddefaid ei hun, y mae efe yn myned o’u blaen hwy: a’r defaid sydd yn ei ganlyn ef, oblegid y maent yn adnabod ei lais ef. Ond y dieithr nis canlynant, eithr ffoant oddi wrtho: oblegid nad adwaenant lais dieithriaid. Y ddameg hon a ddywedodd yr Iesu wrthynt: ond hwy ni wybuant pa bethau ydoedd y rhai yr oedd efe yn eu llefaru wrthynt. Am hynny yr Iesu a ddywedodd wrthynt drachefn, Yn wir, yn wir, meddaf i chwi, Myfi yw drws y defaid. Cynifer oll ag a ddaethant o’m blaen i, lladron ac ysbeilwyr ŷnt: eithr ni wrandawodd y defaid arnynt. Myfi yw’r drws: os â neb i mewn trwof fi, efe a fydd cadwedig; ac efe a â i mewn ac allan, ac a gaiff borfa. 10 Nid yw lleidr yn dyfod ond i ladrata, ac i ladd, ac i ddistrywio: myfi a ddeuthum fel y caent fywyd, ac y caent ef yn helaethach. 11 Myfi yw’r bugail da. Y bugail da sydd yn rhoddi ei einioes dros y defaid. 12 Eithr y gwas cyflog, a’r hwn nid yw fugail, yr hwn nid eiddo y defaid, sydd yn gweled y blaidd yn dyfod, ac yn gadael y defaid, ac yn ffoi: a’r blaidd sydd yn eu hysglyfio hwy, ac yn tarfu’r defaid. 13 Y mae’r gwas cyflog yn ffoi, oblegid mai gwas cyflog yw, ac nid oes ofal arno am y defaid. 14 Myfi yw’r bugail da; ac a adwaen yr eiddof fi, ac a’m hadwaenir gan yr eiddof fi. 15 Fel yr edwyn y Tad fyfi, felly yr adwaen innau’r Tad: ac yr ydwyf yn rhoddi fy einioes dros y defaid. 16 A defaid eraill sydd gennyf, y rhai nid ŷnt o’r gorlan hon: y rhai hynny hefyd sydd raid i mi eu cyrchu, a’m llais i a wrandawant; a bydd un gorlan, ac un bugail. 17 Am hyn y mae’r Tad yn fy ngharu i, am fy mod i yn dodi fy einioes, fel y cymerwyf hi drachefn. 18 Nid oes neb yn ei dwyn oddi arnaf fi: ond myfi sydd yn ei dodi hi i lawr ohonof fy hun. Y mae gennyf feddiant i’w dodi hi i lawr, ac y mae gennyf feddiant i’w chymryd hi drachefn. Y gorchymyn hwn a dderbyniais i gan fy Nhad.

19 Yna y bu drachefn ymrafael ymysg yr Iddewon, am yr ymadroddion hyn. 20 A llawer ohonynt a ddywedasant, Y mae cythraul ganddo, ac y mae efe yn ynfydu: paham y gwrandewch chwi arno ef? 21 Eraill a ddywedasant, Nid yw’r rhai hyn eiriau un â chythraul ynddo. A all cythraul agoryd llygaid y deillion?

22 Ac yr oedd y gysegr‐ŵyl yn Jerwsalem, a’r gaeaf oedd hi. 23 Ac yr oedd yr Iesu yn rhodio yn y deml, ym mhorth Solomon. 24 Am hynny y daeth yr Iddewon yn ei gylch ef, ac a ddywedasant wrtho, Pa hyd yr wyt yn peri i ni amau? os tydi yw’r Crist, dywed i ni yn eglur. 25 Yr Iesu a atebodd iddynt, Mi a ddywedais i chwi, ac nid ydych yn credu. Y gweithredoedd yr wyf fi yn eu gwneuthur yn enw fy Nhad, y mae y rhai hynny yn tystiolaethu amdanaf fi. 26 Ond chwi nid ydych yn credu: canys nid ydych chwi o’m defaid i, fel y dywedais i chwi. 27 Y mae fy nefaid i yn gwrando fy llais i; a mi a’u hadwaen hwynt, a hwy a’m canlynant i: 28 A minnau ydwyf yn rhoddi iddynt fywyd tragwyddol; ac ni chyfrgollant byth, ac ni ddwg neb hwynt allan o’m llaw i. 29 Fy Nhad i, yr hwn a’u rhoddes i mi, sydd fwy na phawb: ac nis gall neb eu dwyn hwynt allan o law fy Nhad i. 30 Myfi a’r Tad un ydym. 31 Am hynny y cododd yr Iddewon gerrig drachefn i’w labyddio ef. 32 Yr Iesu a atebodd iddynt, Llawer o weithredoedd da a ddangosais i chwi oddi wrth fy Nhad: am ba un o’r gweithredoedd hynny yr ydych yn fy llabyddio i? 33 Yr Iddewon a atebasant iddo, gan ddywedyd, Nid am weithred dda yr ydym yn dy labyddio, ond am gabledd, ac am dy fod di, a thithau yn ddyn, yn dy wneuthur dy hun yn Dduw. 34 Yr Iesu a atebodd iddynt, Onid yw yn ysgrifenedig yn eich cyfraith chwi, Mi a ddywedais, Duwiau ydych? 35 Os galwodd efe hwy yn dduwiau, at y rhai y daeth gair Duw, (a’r ysgrythur nis gellir ei thorri;) 36 A ddywedwch chwi am yr hwn a sancteiddiodd y Tad, ac a’i hanfonodd i’r byd, Yr wyt ti yn cablu; am i mi ddywedyd, Mab Duw ydwyf? 37 Onid wyf fi yn gwneuthur gweithredoedd fy Nhad, na chredwch i mi: 38 Ond os ydwyf yn eu gwneuthur, er nad ydych yn credu i mi, credwch y gweithredoedd; fel y gwybyddoch ac y credoch, fod y Tad ynof fi, a minnau ynddo yntau. 39 Am hynny y ceisiasant drachefn ei ddal ef: ac efe a ddihangodd allan o’u dwylo hwynt. 40 Ac efe a aeth ymaith drachefn dros yr Iorddonen, i’r man lle y buasai Ioan ar y cyntaf yn bedyddio; ac a arhosodd yno. 41 A llawer a ddaethant ato ef, ac a ddywedasant, Ioan yn wir ni wnaeth un arwydd: ond yr holl bethau a’r a ddywedodd Ioan am hwn, oedd wir. 42 A llawer yno a gredasant ynddo.

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) The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.(B) 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) 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) But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech,(F) but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.(G)

Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am(H) the gate(I) for the sheep. All who have come before me(J) are thieves and robbers,(K) but the sheep have not listened to them. 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)
