Juan 10
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Parábola del redil
10 «De cierto, de cierto les digo: El ladrón y el salteador es el que no entra por la puerta del redil de las ovejas, sino que trepa por otra parte. 2 Pero el que entra por la puerta, es el pastor de las ovejas. 3 A éste el portero le abre, y las ovejas oyen su voz; y él llama a las ovejas por su nombre, y las saca. 4 Y una vez que ha sacado a todas sus ovejas, va delante de ellas; y las ovejas lo siguen, porque conocen su voz. 5 Pero a un extraño no lo siguen, sino que huyen de él, porque no conocen la voz de gente extraña.» 6 Jesús les dijo esta alegoría; pero ellos no entendieron qué les quiso decir.
Jesús, el buen pastor
7 Una vez más Jesús les dijo: «De cierto, de cierto les digo: Yo soy la puerta de las ovejas. 8 Todos los que vinieron antes de mí, son ladrones y salteadores; pero las ovejas no los oyeron. 9 Yo soy la puerta; el que por mí entra, será salvo; y entrará y saldrá, y hallará pastos. 10 El ladrón no viene sino para hurtar, matar y destruir; yo he venido para que tengan vida, y para que la tengan en abundancia. 11 Yo soy el buen pastor;(A) el buen pastor da su vida por las ovejas. 12 Pero el asalariado, el que no es el pastor ni el dueño de las ovejas, huye y abandona las ovejas cuando ve venir al lobo, y el lobo las arrebata y las dispersa. 13 Al que es asalariado, no le importan las ovejas. 14 Yo soy el buen pastor. Yo conozco a mis ovejas, y ellas me conocen a mí, 15 así como el Padre me conoce a mí, y yo conozco al Padre;(B) y yo pongo mi vida por las ovejas. 16 También tengo otras ovejas, que no son de este redil; también a aquéllas debo traer, y oirán mi voz, y habrá un rebaño y un pastor. 17 Por eso el Padre me ama, porque yo pongo mi vida para volver a tomarla. 18 Nadie me la quita, sino que yo la doy por mi propia cuenta. Tengo poder para ponerla, y tengo poder para volver a tomarla. Este mandamiento lo recibí de mi Padre.»
19 Y volvió a haber disensión entre los judíos por causa de estas palabras. 20 Muchos de ellos decían: «Tiene un demonio, y ha perdido el juicio. ¿Por qué hacerle caso?» 21 Otros decían: «Estas palabras no son de un endemoniado. ¿Acaso un demonio puede abrir los ojos de los ciegos?»
Los judíos rechazan a Jesús
22 Era invierno, y en Jerusalén se estaba celebrando la fiesta de la dedicación. 23 Jesús andaba en el templo, por el pórtico de Salomón. 24 Entonces los judíos lo rodearon y le dijeron: «¿Hasta cuándo vas a perturbarnos el alma? Si tú eres el Cristo, dínoslo abiertamente.» 25 Jesús les respondió: «Ya se lo he dicho, y ustedes no creen; pero las obras que yo hago en nombre de mi Padre son las que dan testimonio de mí. 26 Si ustedes no creen, es porque no son de mis ovejas. 27 Las que son mis ovejas, oyen mi voz; y yo las conozco, y ellas me siguen. 28 Y yo les doy vida eterna; y no perecerán jamás, ni nadie las arrebatará de mi mano. 29 Mi Padre, que me las dio, es mayor que todos, y nadie las puede arrebatar de la mano de mi Padre. 30 El Padre y yo somos uno.»
31 Entonces los judíos volvieron a tomar piedras para apedrearlo, 32 pero Jesús les respondió: «Yo les he mostrado de mi Padre muchas buenas obras; ¿por cuál de ellas me apedrean?» 33 Los judíos le respondieron: «No te apedreamos por ninguna buena obra, sino por la blasfemia;(C) porque tú eres hombre, pero te haces Dios.» 34 Jesús les respondió: «¿Y no está escrito en la ley de ustedes: “Yo dije, ustedes son dioses”?(D) 35 Si se llamó dioses a aquellos a quienes vino la palabra de Dios (y la Escritura no puede ser quebrantada), 36 ¿ustedes dicen “Tú blasfemas” a quien el Padre santificó y envió al mundo, sólo porque dije: “Hijo de Dios soy”? 37 Si no hago las obras de mi Padre, no me crean. 38 Pero si las hago, crean a las obras, aunque no me crean a mí, para que sepan y crean que el Padre está en mí, y que yo estoy en el Padre.» 39 Una vez más procuraron aprehenderlo, pero él se escapó de sus manos.
40 Y volvió al otro lado del Jordán, al lugar donde antes había estado bautizando Juan,(E) y allí se quedó. 41 Y muchos se acercaban a él, y decían: «A decir verdad, Juan no hizo ninguna señal; pero todo lo que dijo de éste, era verdad.» 42 Y muchos allí creyeron en él.
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.

Complete Jewish Bible
10 “Yes, indeed! I tell you, the person who doesn’t enter the sheep-pen through the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 But the one who goes in through the gate is the sheep’s own shepherd. 3 This is the one the gate-keeper admits, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep, each one by name, and leads them out. 4 After taking out all that are his own, he goes on ahead of them; and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. 5 They never follow a stranger but will run away from him, because strangers’ voices are unfamiliar to them.”
6 Yeshua used this indirect manner of speaking with them, but they didn’t understand what he was talking to them about. 7 So Yeshua said to them again, “Yes, indeed! I tell you that I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All those who have come before me have been thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them. 9 I am the gate; if someone enters through me, he will be safe and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand, since he isn’t a shepherd and the sheep aren’t his own, sees the wolf coming, abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf drags them off and scatters them. 13 The hired worker behaves like this because that’s all he is, a hired worker; so it doesn’t matter to him what happens to 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 — and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep. 16 Also I have other sheep which are not from this pen; I need to bring them, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
17 “This is why the Father loves me: because I lay down my life — in order to take it up again! 18 No one takes it away from me; on the contrary, I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This is what my Father commanded me to do.”
19 Again there was a split among the Judeans because of what he said. 20 Many of them said, “He has a demon!” and “He’s meshugga! Why do you listen to him?” 21 Others said, “These are not the deeds of a man who is demonized — how can a demon open blind people’s eyes?”
22 Then came Hanukkah in Yerushalayim. It was winter, 23 and Yeshua was walking around inside the Temple area, in Shlomo’s Colonnade. 24 So the Judeans surrounded him and said to him, “How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us publicly!” 25 Yeshua answered them, “I have already told you, and you don’t trust me. The works I do in my Father’s name testify on my behalf, 26 but the reason you don’t trust is that you are not included among my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice, I recognize them, they follow me, 28 and I give them eternal life. They will absolutely never be destroyed, and no one will snatch them from my hands. 29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them from the Father’s hands. 30 I and the Father are one.”
31 Once again the Judeans picked up rocks in order to stone him. 32 Yeshua answered them, “You have seen me do many good deeds that reflect the Father’s power; for which one of these deeds are you stoning me?” 33 The Judeans replied, “We are not stoning you for any good deed, but for blasphemy — because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God [a].” 34 Yeshua answered them, “Isn’t it written in your Torah, ‘I have said, “You people are Elohim’ ”?[b] 35 If he called ‘elohim’ the people to whom the word of Elohim was addressed (and the Tanakh cannot be broken), 36 then are you telling the one whom the Father set apart as holy and sent into the world, ‘You are committing blasphemy,’ just because I said, ‘I am a son of Elohim’?
37 “If I am not doing deeds that reflect my Father’s power, don’t trust me. 38 But if I am, then, even if you don’t trust me, trust the deeds; so that you may understand once and for all that the Father is united with me, and I am united with the Father.” 39 One more time they tried to arrest him, but he slipped out of their hands.
40 He went off again beyond the Yarden, where Yochanan had been immersing at first, and stayed there. 41 Many people came to him and said, “Yochanan performed no miracles, but everything Yochanan said about this man was true.” 42 And many people there put their trust in him.
