Juan 10

Ang Tunay na Pastol
10 “Tandaan ninyo ito: ang pumapasok sa kulungan ng mga tupa nang hindi sa pinto nagdaraan, kundi umaakyat sa di dapat pagdaanan ay magnanakaw at tulisan. 2 Ngunit ang nagdaraan sa pintuan ay siyang pastol ng mga tupa. 3 Pinapapasok siya ng bantay, at pinapakinggan ng mga tupa ang kanyang tinig. Tinatawag niya ang kanyang mga tupa sa kani-kanilang pangalan, at inilalabas sa kulungan. 4 Kapag nailabas na, siya'y nangunguna sa kanila at sumusunod naman ang mga ito sapagkat kilala nila ang kanyang tinig. 5 Hindi sila susunod sa iba, kundi tatakbong palayo, sapagkat hindi nila kilala ang tinig ng iba.”
6 Sinabi ni Jesus ang paglalarawang ito ngunit hindi nila naunawaan ang ibig niyang sabihin.
Si Jesus ang Mabuting Pastol
7 Kaya't muling sinabi ni Jesus, “Pakatandaan ninyo: ako ang pintuang dinaraanan ng mga tupa. 8 Ang mga nauna sa akin ay mga magnanakaw at mga tulisan, ngunit hindi sila pinakinggan ng mga tupa. 9 Ako ang pintuan. Ang sinumang pumapasok sa pamamagitan ko'y maliligtas. Papasok siya't lalabas, at makakatagpo ng pastulan. 10 Dumarating ang magnanakaw para lamang magnakaw, pumatay, at manira. Naparito ako upang ang mga tupa ay magkaroon ng buhay, buhay na masaganang lubos.
11 “Ako(A) ang mabuting pastol. Iniaalay ng mabuting pastol ang kanyang buhay para sa mga tupa. 12 Ang upahan ay tumatakas kapag may dumarating na asong-gubat. Iniiwan niya ang mga tupa, palibhasa'y hindi siya pastol at hindi kanya ang mga ito. Kaya't sinusunggaban ng asong-gubat ang mga ito at binubulabog. 13 Tumatakas siya, palibhasa'y upahan lamang at walang malasakit sa mga tupa. 14-15 Ako(B) nga ang mabuting pastol. Kung paanong kilala ako ng Ama at siya'y kilala ko, gayundin naman, kilala ko ang aking mga tupa at ako nama'y kilala nila. At iniaalay ko ang aking buhay para sa aking mga tupa. 16 Mayroon akong iba pang mga tupa na wala pa sa kulungang ito. Kinakailangang sila'y ipasok ko rin, at papakinggan nila ang aking tinig. Sa gayon, magkakaroon ng isang kawan na may isang pastol.
17 “Dahil dito'y minamahal ako ng Ama, sapagkat iniaalay ko ang aking buhay upang ito'y kunin kong muli. 18 Walang makakakuha ng aking buhay; kusa ko itong ibinibigay. Mayroon akong kapangyarihang ibigay ito at mayroon akong kapangyarihang kunin itong muli. Ang utos na ito'y tinanggap ko mula sa aking Ama.”
19 Dahil sa mga pananalitang ito, nagkabaha-bahagi muli ang mga Judio. 20 Marami sa kanila ang nagsabi, “Sinasapian siya ng demonyo! Nababaliw siya! Bakit kayo nakikinig sa kanya?” 21 Sinabi naman ng iba, “Hindi makakapagsalita nang ganoon ang isang sinasapian ng demonyo! Nakakapagpagaling ba ng bulag ang demonyo?”
Itinakwil ng mga Judio si Jesus
22 Taglamig(C) na noon at kasalukuyang ipinagdiriwang sa Jerusalem ang Pista ng Pagtatalaga ng Templo. 23 Habang naglalakad si Jesus sa Templo, sa Portiko ni Solomon, 24 pinaligiran siya ng mga Judio at sinabi sa kanya, “Hanggang kailan mo kami paghihintayin? Kung ikaw nga ang Cristo, sabihin mo na nang maliwanag.”
25 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sinabi ko na sa inyo, ngunit ayaw ninyong maniwala. Ang mga ginagawa ko sa pangalan ng aking Ama ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin. 26 Ngunit ayaw ninyong maniwala sapagkat hindi kayo kabilang sa aking mga tupa. 27 Nakikinig sa akin ang aking mga tupa; nakikilala ko sila, at sumusunod sila sa akin. 28 Binibigyan ko sila ng buhay na walang hanggan. Kailanma'y hindi sila mapapahamak at hindi sila maaagaw sa akin ninuman. 29 Ang(D) aking Ama na siyang nagbigay sa kanila sa akin ay lalong dakila sa lahat,[a] at hindi sila maaagaw ninuman sa aking Ama. 30 Ako at ang Ama ay iisa.”
31 Muling dumampot ng bato ang mga Judio upang batuhin si Jesus. 32 Kaya't sinabi niya sa kanila, “Marami akong ipinakita sa inyo na mabubuting gawa mula sa Ama. Alin sa mga ito ang dahilan at ako'y inyong babatuhin?”
33 Sumagot(E) ang mga Judio, “Hindi dahil sa mabubuting gawa kaya ka namin babatuhin, kundi dahil sa paglapastangan mo sa Diyos! Sapagkat ipinapantay mo ang iyong sarili sa Diyos, gayong tao ka lamang.”
34 Tumugon(F) si Jesus, “Hindi ba nasusulat sa inyong Kautusan, ‘Sinabi ko, mga diyos kayo’? 35 Tinawag na diyos ang mga pinagkatiwalaan ng salita ng Diyos, at hindi maaaring ipawalang-bisa ang sinasabi ng kasulatan. 36 Ako'y pinili at isinugo ng Ama; paano ninyo ngayon masasabing nilalapastangan ko ang Diyos dahil sa sinabi kong ako ang Anak ng Diyos? 37 Kung hindi ko ginagawa ang mga ipinapagawa ng aking Ama, huwag ninyo akong paniwalaan. 38 Ngunit kung ginagawa ko ang mga ito, paniwalaan ninyo ang aking mga gawa kung ayaw man ninyong maniwala sa akin. Sa gayon, matitiyak ninyong nasa akin ang Ama at ako'y nasa Ama.”
39 Kaya't tinangka na naman nilang dakpin si Jesus, ngunit natakasan niya sila.
40 Muling(G) pumunta si Jesus sa ibayo ng Jordan, sa pook na dating pinagbabautismuhan ni Juan. Nanatili siya roon 41 at maraming lumapit sa kanya. Sinabi nila, “Walang ginawang himala si Juan ngunit totoo ang lahat ng sinabi niya tungkol sa taong ito.”
42 At doo'y maraming sumampalataya kay Jesus.

English Standard Version
I Am the Good Shepherd
10 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 (A)A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 This figure of speech Jesus (B)used with them, but they (C)did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (D)I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, (E)he will be saved and will go in and out and (F)find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and (G)kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11 (H)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd (I)lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is (J)a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and (K)leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and (L)scatters them. 13 He flees because (M)he is a hired hand and (N)cares nothing for the sheep. 14 (O)I am the good shepherd. (P)I know my own and (Q)my own know me, 15 (R)just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and (S)I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And (T)I have other sheep that are not of this fold. (U)I must bring them also, and (V)they will listen to my voice. So there will be (W)one flock, (X)one shepherd. 17 (Y)For this reason the Father loves me, (Z)because (AA)I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 (AB)No one takes it from me, but (AC)I lay it down (AD)of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and (AE)I have authority to take it up again. (AF)This charge I have received from my Father.”
19 (AG)There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. 20 Many of them said, (AH)“He has a demon, and (AI)is insane; why listen to him?” 21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. (AJ)Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
I and the Father Are One
22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, (AK)in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are (AL)the Christ, (AM)tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. (AN)The works that I do (AO)in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but (AP)you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 (AQ)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 (AR)I give them eternal life, and (AS)they will never perish, and (AT)no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, (AU)who has given them to me,[a] (AV)is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of (AW)the Father's hand. 30 (AX)I and the Father are one.”
31 (AY)The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but (AZ)for blasphemy, because you, being a man, (BA)make yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in (BB)your Law, (BC)‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be (BD)broken— 36 do you say of him whom (BE)the Father consecrated and (BF)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because (BG)I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 (BH)If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, (BI)even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that (BJ)the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 (BK)Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place (BL)where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. 41 And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but (BM)everything that John said about this man was true.” 42 And (BN)many believed in him there.

New King James Version
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.
