John 10
Lexham English Bible
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.

King James Version
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.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 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.
Juan 10
Ang Salita ng Diyos
Ang Pastol at ang Kaniyang Kawan
10 Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Siya na pumapasok na hindi dumadaan sa pinto ng kulungan ng mga tupa ay magnanakaw at tulisan. Siya ay umaakyat sa ibang daan.
2 Ang pumapasok na dumadaan sa pinto ay ang pastol ng mga tupa. 3 Pinagbubuksan siya ng bantay-pinto. Dinirinig ng mga tupa ang kaniyang tinig. Tinatawag niya ang kaniyang sariling mga tupa sa kani-kanilang pangalan. Sila ay inaakay niya sa paglabas. 4 Kapag nailabas na niya ang sarili niyang mga tupa ay nauuna siya sa kanila. Ang mga tupa ay sumusunod sa kaniya sapagkat kilala nila ang kaniyang tinig. 5 Hindi nila susundin kailanman ang isang dayuhan kundi lalayuan nila siya sapagkat hindi nila kilala ang tinig ng mga dayuhan. 6 Ang talinghagang ito ay sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila. Hindi nila naunawaan ang sinabi niya sa kanila.
7 Muli ngang sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Ako ang pinto ng mga tupa. 8 Ang lahat ng naunang dumating sa akin ay mga magnanakaw at mga tulisan. Subalit hindi sila dininig ng mga tupa. 9 Ako ang pinto. Ang sinumang pumasok sa pamamagitan ko ay maliligtas. Siya ay papasok at lalabas at makakasumpong ng pastulan. 10 Ang magnanakaw ay hindi pumarito malibang siya ay magnakaw, pumatay at maminsala. Ako ay narito upang sila ay magkaroon ng buhay at magkaroon nito na may lubos na kasaganaan.
11 Ako ang mabuting pastol. Iniaalay ng mabuting pastol ang kaniyang buhay para sa mga tupa. 12 Kapag nakikita ng upahang-lingkod na dumarating ang lobo, iniiwan niya ang mga tupa at tumatakbong palayo. Ginagawa niya ito sapagkat hindi siya ang pastol at sila ay hindi sa kaniya. Pagkatapos, ang mga tupa ay sinisila ng lobo at kinakalat. 13 Ang upahang-lingkod ay tumatakbong palayo sapagkat siya ay upahang-lingkod at wala siyang pagmamalasakit sa mga tupa.
14 Ako ang mabuting pastol. Kilala ko ang aking mga tupa at kilala ako ng aking mga tupa. 15 Kung papaanong nakikilala ako ng Ama ay ganoon din naman, nakikilala ko ang Ama. Iniaalay ko ang aking buhay para sa mga tupa. 16 Mayroon akong ibang mga tupa na wala sa kawang ito. Sila rin ay dapat kong dalhin at diringgin nila ang aking tinig. At magkakaroon ng isang kawan at ng isang pastol. 17 Dahil dito, iniibig ako ng Ama sapagkat iniaalay ko ang aking buhay upang ito ay makuha kong muli. 18 Walang sinumang makakaagaw nito sa akin. Subalit kusa ko itong iniaalay. Mayroon akong kapamahalaang ialay ito at mayroon akong kapamahalaang kunin itong muli. Ang utos na ito ay tinanggap ko mula sa aking Ama.
19 Nagkaroon ngang muli ng pagkakabaha-bahagi sa mga Judio dahil sa mga pananalitang ito. 20 Marami sa kanila ang nagsabi: Siya ay may demonyo at nahihibang. Bakit kayo nakikinig sa kaniya?
21 Sinabi ng iba: Hindi ito mga pananalita ng isang inaalihan ng demonyo. May kapangyarihan bang makapagpamulat ng mata ang demonyo?
Hindi Sumampalataya ang mga Judio
22 Naganap sa Jerusalem ang kapistahan ng pagtatalaga. Noon ay taglamig.
23 Si Jesus ay naglalakad sa templo sa portiko ni Solomon. 24 Pinalibutan nga siya ng mga Judio. Sinabi nila sa kaniya: Hanggang kailan mo paghihintayin ang aming kaluluwa? Kung ikaw ang Mesiyas, sabihin mo sa amin nang tuwiran.
25 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanila: Sinabi ko na sa inyo ngunit hindi kayo sumampalataya. Ang mga gawang ginagawa ko sa pangalan ng aking Ama ang siyang nagpapatotoo sa akin. 26 Hindi kayo sumasampalataya sapagkathindi kayo kabilang sa aking mga tupa gaya ng sinabi ko sa inyo. 27 Dinirinig ng aking mga tupa ang aking tinig. Kilala ko sila at sumusunodsila sa akin. 28 Binibigyan ko sila ng buhay na walang hanggan. Hindi sila malilipol magpakailanman. Walang sinumang makakaagaw sa kanila sa aking kamay. 29 Ibinigay sila sa akin ng aking Ama. Siya ay higit na dakila sa lahat. Walang makakaagaw sa kanila mula sa kamay ng aking Ama. 30 Ako at ang Ama ay iisa.
31 Muli ngang dumampot ng mga bato ang mga Judio upang siya ay batuhin. 32 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus: Maraming mabubuting gawa ang ipinakita ko sa inyo mula sa aking Ama. Alin sa mga gawang iyon ang dahilan para batuhin ninyo ako?
33 Sumagot ang mga Judio sa kaniya na sinasabi: Hindi ka namin binabato dahil sa anumang mabuting gawa kundi dahil sa iyong pamumusong. Ginagawa mong Diyos ang sarili mo, ikaw na isang tao.
34 Tinugon sila ni Jesus: Hindi ba nasusulat sa inyong kautusan: Aking sinabi na kayo ay mga diyos? 35 Tinawag niyang mga diyos ang mga tao, na sa pamamagitan nila ay dumating ang salita ng Diyos. At ang kasulatan ay hindi masisira. 36 Sinasabi ninyo sa kaniya na pinabanal at isinugo ng Ama sa sanlibutan: Ikaw ay nanlalait. Ito ba ay dahil sa sinabi ko: Ako ay Anak ng Diyos? 37 Kung hindi ko ginagawa ang mga gawa ng aking Ama, huwag kayong sumampalataya sa akin. 38 Kung ginagawa ko, kahit hindi kayo sumampalataya sa akin, sampalatayanan ninyo ang mga gawa. Ito ay upang malaman ninyo at sumampalataya na ang Ama ay nasa akin at ako ay nasa kaniya. 39 Muli nga silang naghanap ng pagkakataon upang hulihin siya, ngunit siya ay nakatakas mula sa kanilang mga kamay.
40 Siya ay muling pumunta sa ibayo ng Jordan, sa dakong pinagbawtismuhan ni Juan noong una. Siya ay nanatili roon. 41 Marami ang pumunta sa kaniya at sinabi: Totoong si Juan ay hindi gumawa ng tanda. Ang lahat ng mga bagay na sinabi ni Juan patungkol sa taong ito ay totoo. 42 Marami roon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus.
