Ang Matuod nga Manugbantay sang mga Karnero

10 Nagsaysay si Jesus sa ila paagi sa paanggid, “Sa pagkamatuod, ginasugid ko sa inyo nga kon ang tawo nagasulod sa toril sang mga karnero pero wala nagaagi sa puwertahan kundi nagataklas sa kudal, ina nga tawo kawatan kag tulisan. Pero ang tawo nga nagasulod paagi sa puwertahan amo ang manugbantay sang mga karnero. Ginapasulod siya sang bantay sa puwertahan kag ang iya tingog kilala sang mga karnero. Ginatawag niya ang iya mga karnero sa ila mga ngalan, kag ginadala niya dayon sila paguwa. Kon makaguwa na sila, nagauna siya sa ila kag ang iya mga karnero nagasunod sa iya tungod kay kilala nila ang iya tingog. Indi magsunod ang mga karnero sa tawo nga indi nila kilala, kundi magapalagyo gani sila tungod kay wala sila nakakilala sang iya tingog.”

Ginsugid sa ila ni Jesus ini nga paanggid, pero wala gid sila nakaintiendi kon ano ang buot silingon sini.

Si Jesus ang Maayo nga Manugbantay

Gani nagsiling liwat si Jesus, “Sa pagkamatuod, ginasugid ko sa inyo nga ako amo ang puwertahan sang mga karnero.[a] May mga nauna sa akon nga mga manunudlo nga ang ila kahalimbawa pareho sa mga kawatan kag mga tulisan. Pero ang akon mga karnero wala nagpati sa ila. Ako amo ang puwertahan. Ang nagasulod paagi sa akon maluwas. Pareho siya sa karnero nga nagasulod kag nagaguwa, kag makakita siya sing halalbon. 10 Ang katuyuan sang kawatan amo ang pagpangawat, ang pagpatay kag ang pagpangguba. Pero ako iya nagkadto diri sa kalibutan agod mahatagan ko ang mga tawo sing kabuhi kag ini wala gid sing kulang.

11 “Ako amo ang maayo nga manugbantay sang mga karnero. Ang maayo nga manugbantay desidido nga mapatay para sa iya mga karnero. 12 Indi siya pareho sa tawo nga ginasuhulan lang nga magbantay. Kay ang tawo nga ginasuhulan lang nagapalagyo kon makita na niya nga nagaabot ang mabangis nga ido,[b] kag bayaan lang niya ang mga karnero. Gani nagalalapta ang mga karnero kag ang iban sa ila tukbon. 13 Ang sinuhulan nagapalagyo, tungod kay sinuhulan man lang siya kag baliwala lang sa iya kon ano ang matabo sa mga karnero. 14-15 Pero ako amo ang maayo nga manugbantay sang mga karnero. Kon paano ang pagkakilala sa akon sang Amay kag ang akon pagkakilala sa iya, pareho man sina ang akon pagkakilala sa akon mga karnero kag ang ila pagkakilala sa akon. Kag ihatag ko ang akon kabuhi para sa ila. 16 May iban pa man ako nga mga karnero nga wala diri sa inyo grupo bilang mga Judio. Dapat pasudlon ko man sila. Magapamati man sila sa akon, kag ang tanan nga nagapamati sa akon mangin isa lang ka grupo nga may isa ka manugbantay.

17 “Ginapalangga ako sang Amay tungod kay ginahatag ko ang akon kabuhi para sa ila, kag pagkatapos mabuhi man ako liwat. 18 Wala sing may makapatay sa akon kon indi ko ini pag-itugot. Pero kabubut-on ko nga ginahatag ang akon kabuhi. Pagusto ako sa paghatag sini, kag pagusto man ako sa pagbawi sini. Amo ini ang ginsiling sang Amay sa akon.”

19 Tungod sa ginhambal nga ato ni Jesus nagbinahin-bahin liwat ang mga Judio. 20 Madamo sa ila ang nagsiling, “Ang tawo nga ini ginsudlan sang malaot nga espiritu kag buang-buang. Ngaa nagasagi kamo pamati sa iya?” 21 Pero nagsiling ang iban, “Ang tawo nga ginsudlan sang malaot nga espiritu indi makatudlo sing pareho sina. Kag isa pa, paano makapaayo ang isa ka tawo sang bulag kon ginsudlan siya sang malain nga espiritu?”

Ginsikway si Jesus sang mga Judio

22 Karon, nag-abot ang tiyempo sa pagsaulog sa Jerusalem sang Piesta sang Pagdedikar sang Templo. Tigtulugnaw sadto, 23 kag nagalakat-lakat si Jesus didto sa templo sa ginatawag nga Balkon ni Solomon. 24 Nagtilipon ang mga Judio sa iya kag nagsiling sila, “Ngaa ginatago-tago mo pa sa amon kon sin-o gid ikaw? Sugiri kami sing deretso kon ikaw amo ang Cristo.” 25 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Ginsugiran ko na kamo kon sin-o gid ako pero indi kamo magpati sa akon. Ang mga milagro nga ginapahimo sang Amay sa akon nagapamatuod man kon sin-o gid ako. 26 Pero indi kamo magpati sa akon tungod kay indi kamo kaupod sa akon mga karnero. 27 Ang akon mga karnero nagapamati sa akon. Kilala ko sila kag nagasunod sila sa akon. 28 Ginahatagan ko sila sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan, kag indi gid sila mawala. Wala gid sing may makaagaw sa ila sa akon kamot. 29 Ginhatag sila sa akon sang akon Amay nga gamhanan sa tanan, kag wala gid sing may makaagaw sa ila sa kamot sang Amay. 30 Ako kag ang Amay isa lang.”

31 Pagkabati sadto sang mga Judio nagpulot liwat sila sang mga bato agod batuhon siya. 32 Pero nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Madamo ang ginhimo ko nga maayo nga inyo mismo nakita. Kag ginpahimo ini sa akon sang Amay. Sa diin bala sa sining akon mga ginpanghimo ang nangin kabangdanan nga inyo ako batuhon?” 33 Ginsabat siya sang mga Judio, “Indi kami magbato sa imo tungod sang imo maayo nga mga hinimuan, kundi batuhon ka namon tungod sa imo pagpasipala sa Dios! Kay ikaw tawo man lang, pero nagasiling ka nga ikaw Dios.” 34 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Indi bala nasulat sa inyo Kasuguan nga nagsiling ang Dios nga kamo mga dios?[c] 35-36 Kag nahibaluan ta nga matuod permi ang ginasiling sang Kasulatan. Gani kon nagsiling ang Dios nga mga dios ang mga tawo nga ginhatagan sang iya mensahi, ti ngaa nagasiling kamo nga nagpasipala ako sa Dios tungod kay nagsiling ako nga ako Anak sang Dios? Siya mismo ang nagpili kag nagpadala sa akon diri sa kalibutan. 37 Kon wala ako nagahimo sang ginapahimo sang Amay sa akon, indi dapat nga magpati kamo sa akon. 38 Pero kon ginahimo ko ang ginapahimo sang Amay sa akon, bisan indi ninyo gusto nga magpati sa akon mga ginasiling, dapat patihan ninyo ang akon mga hinimuan, agod mahibaluan gid ninyo nga ang Amay ari sa akon kag ako ara sa iya.”

39 Gintinguhaan nila liwat nga dakpon si Jesus, pero nakalikaw siya sa ila.

40 Nagtabok liwat si Jesus sa Suba sang Jordan kag nagkadto sa lugar nga sa diin nagpangbautiso si Juan. Kag didto siya dayon nagtiner. 41 Madamo nga mga tawo ang nagpalapit sa iya kag nagsiling, “Wala matuod nakahimo sing mga milagro si Juan, pero ang tanan nga iya ginhambal parte sa sini nga tawo matuod.” 42 Gani madamo sa mga tawo didto ang nagtuo kay Jesus.

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)

  4. John 10:34 Psalm 82:6

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.
