约翰福音 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。 2 从门进去的才是羊的牧人， 3 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。 4 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。 5 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。”
6 耶稣讲了这个比喻，但听的人都不明白祂的意思。 7 于是祂又说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，我就是羊的门。 8 在我以前来的，都是贼，是强盗，羊不听从他们。 9 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。
John 10
Contemporary English Version
A Story about Sheep
10 Jesus said:
I tell you for certain only thieves and robbers climb over the fence instead of going in through the gate to the sheep pen. 2-3 But the gatekeeper opens the gate for the shepherd, and he goes in through it. The sheep know their shepherd's voice. He calls each of them by name and leads them out.
4 When he has led out all of his sheep, he walks in front of them, and they follow, because they know his voice. 5 The sheep will not follow strangers. They don't recognize a stranger's voice, and they run away.
6 Jesus told the people this story. But they did not understand what he was talking about.
Jesus Is the Good Shepherd
7 Jesus said:
I tell you for certain that I am the gate for the sheep. 8 Everyone who came before me was a thief or a robber, and the sheep did not listen to any of them. 9 I am the gate. All who come in through me will be saved. Through me they will come and go and find pasture.
10 A thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy. I came so everyone would have life, and have it fully. 11 (A) I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives up his life for his sheep. 12 Hired workers are not like the shepherd. They don't own the sheep, and when they see a wolf coming, they run off and leave the sheep. Then the wolf attacks and scatters the flock. 13 Hired workers run away because they don't care about the sheep.
14 (B) I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and they know me. 15 (C) Just as the Father knows me, I know the Father, and I give up my life for my sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not in this sheep pen. I must also bring them together, when they hear my voice. Then there will be one flock of sheep and one shepherd.
17 The Father loves me, because I give up my life, so I may receive it back again. 18 No one takes my life from me. I give it up willingly! I have the power to give it up and the power to receive it back again, just as my Father commanded me to do.
19 The people took sides because of what Jesus had told them. 20 Many of them said, “He has a demon in him! He is crazy! Why listen to him?”
21 But others said, “How could anyone with a demon in him say these things? No one like this could give sight to a blind person!”
Jesus Is Rejected
22 (D) That winter, Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Temple Festival. 23 One day he was walking in the part of the temple known as Solomon's Porch,[a] 24 and the people gathered all around him. They said, “How long are you going to keep us guessing? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly!”
25 Jesus answered:
I have told you, and you refused to believe me. The things I do by my Father's authority show who I am. 26 But since you are not my sheep, you don't believe me. 27 My sheep know my voice, and I know them. They follow me, 28 and I give them eternal life, so that they will never be lost. No one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 (E) My Father gave them to me, and he is greater than all others.[b] No one can snatch them from his hands, 30 and I am one with the Father.
31 Once again the people picked up stones in order to kill Jesus. 32 But he said, “I have shown you many good things my Father sent me to do. Which one are you going to stone me for?”
33 They answered, “We are not stoning you because of any good thing you did. We are stoning you because you did a terrible thing. You are just a man, and here you are claiming to be God!”
34 (F) Jesus replied:
In your Scriptures doesn't God say, “You are gods”? 35 You can't argue with the Scriptures, and God spoke to those people and called them gods. 36 So why do you accuse me of a terrible sin for saying that I am the Son of God? After all, it is the Father who prepared me for this work. He is also the one who sent me into the world. 37 If I don't do as my Father does, you should not believe me. 38 But if I do what my Father does, you should believe because of that, even if you don't have faith in me. Then you will know for certain that the Father is one with me, and I am one with the Father.
39 Again they wanted to arrest Jesus. But he escaped 40 (G) and crossed the Jordan to the place where John had earlier been baptizing. While Jesus was there, 41 many people came to him. They were saying, “John didn't work any miracles, but everything he said about Jesus is true.” 42 A lot of those people also put their faith in Jesus.
