John 10
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Good Shepherd
10 ‘Truly I tell you, anyone who doesn’t enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in some other way is a thief and a robber.(A) 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd(B) of the sheep.(C) 3 The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought all his own outside, he goes ahead of them. The sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 They will never follow a stranger; instead they will run away from him, because they don’t know the voice of strangers.’ 6 Jesus gave them this figure of speech, but they did not understand(D) what he was telling them.
7 Jesus said again, ‘Truly I tell you, I am(E) the gate for the sheep.(F) 8 All who came before me[a] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them. 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 A thief comes only to steal(G) and kill and destroy.(H) I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.
11 ‘I am the good shepherd.(I) The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.(J) 12 The hired hand, since he is not the shepherd and doesn’t own the sheep, leaves them[b] and runs away when he sees a wolf(K) coming. The wolf then snatches and scatters them. 13 This happens because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care about the sheep.
14 ‘I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father.(L) I lay down my life(M) for the sheep. 16 But I have other sheep(N) that are not from this sheepfold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.(O) 17 This is why the Father loves me,(P) because I lay down my life(Q) so that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.’(R)
19 Again the Jews were divided(S) because of these words. 20 Many of them were saying, ‘He has a demon(T) and he’s crazy. Why do you listen to him? ’ 21 Others were saying, ‘These aren’t the words of someone who is demon-possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? ’(U)
Jesus at the Festival of Dedication
22 Then the Festival of Dedication took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s Colonnade.(V) 24 The Jews surrounded him and asked, ‘How long are you going to keep us in suspense?[c] If you are the Messiah,(W) tell us plainly.’[d](X)
25 ‘I did tell you and you don’t believe,’ Jesus answered them. ‘The works(Y) that I do in my Father’s name testify about me. 26 But you don’t believe because you are not of my sheep.[e](Z) 27 My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life,(AA) and they will never perish.(AB) No one will snatch(AC) them out of my hand. 29 My Father,(AD) who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.’(AE)
Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus
31 Again the Jews picked up rocks to stone him.(AF)
32 Jesus replied, ‘I have shown you many good works(AG) from the Father. For which of these works are you stoning me? ’
33 ‘We aren’t stoning(AH) you for a good work,’ the Jews answered, ‘but for blasphemy, because you – being a man – make yourself God.’
34 Jesus answered them, ‘Isn’t it written in your law,[f] I said, you are gods?(AI)[g] 35 If he called those to whom the word(AJ) of God came “gods” – and the Scripture(AK) cannot be broken – 36 do you say, “You are blaspheming” to the one the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God?(AL) 37 If I am not doing my Father’s works,(AM) don’t believe me. 38 But if I am doing them and you don’t believe me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand[h] that the Father is in me and I in the Father.’(AN) 39 Then they were trying again to seize him,(AO) but he escaped their grasp.(AP)
Many beyond the Jordan Believe in Jesus
40 So he departed again across the Jordan(AQ) to the place where John(AR) had been baptising earlier, and he remained there. 41 Many came to him(AS) and said, ‘John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true.’ 42 And many believed in him there.
Jean 10
Louis Segond
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.
2 Mais celui qui entre par la porte est le berger des brebis.
3 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.
4 Lorsqu'il a fait sortir toutes ses propres brebis, il marche devant elles; et les brebis le suivent, parce qu'elles connaissent sa voix.
5 Elles ne suivront point un étranger; mais elles fuiront loin de lui, parce qu'elles ne connaissent pas la voix des étrangers.
6 Jésus leur dit cette parabole, mais ils ne comprirent pas de quoi il leur parlait.
7 Jésus leur dit encore: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, je suis la porte des brebis.
8 Tous ceux qui sont venus avant moi sont des voleurs et des brigands; mais les brebis ne les ont point écoutés.
9 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.
John 10
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.
