John 10
CNTR Statistical Restoration · Berean Standard Bible
Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ μὴ εἰσερχόμενος διὰ τῆς θύρας, εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τῶν προβάτων, ἀλλὰ ἀναβαίνων ἀλλαχόθεν, ἐκεῖνος κλέπτης ἐστὶν καὶ λῃστής.
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
Ὁ δὲ εἰσερχόμενος διὰ τῆς θύρας, ποιμήν ἐστιν τῶν προβάτων.
But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
Τούτῳ ὁ θυρωρὸς ἀνοίγει, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούει, καὶ τὰ ἴδια πρόβατα φωνεῖ κατʼ ὄνομα, καὶ ἐξάγει αὐτά.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Ὅταν τὰ ἴδια πάντα ἐκβάλῃ, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν πορεύεται, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῷ ἀκολουθεῖ, ὅτι οἴδασιν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
Ἀλλοτρίῳ δὲ οὐ μὴ ἀκολουθήσωσιν, ἀλλὰ φεύξονται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδασι τῶν ἀλλοτρίων τὴν φωνήν.”
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”
Ταύτην τὴν παροιμίαν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τίνα ἦν, ἃ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς.
Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
Εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς πάλιν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα τῶν προβάτων.
So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
Πάντες ὅσοι ἦλθον πρὸ ἐμοῦ κλέπται εἰσὶν καὶ λῃσταί, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἤκουσαν αὐτῶν τὰ πρόβατα.
All who came before Me (note: BYZ All who came) were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
Ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα· διʼ ἐμοῦ ἐάν τις εἰσέλθῃ σωθήσεται, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ νομὴν εὑρήσει.
I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
Ὁ κλέπτης οὐκ ἔρχεται, εἰ μὴ ἵνα κλέψῃ, καὶ θύσῃ, καὶ ἀπολέσῃ. Ἐγὼ ἦλθον, ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχωσιν, καὶ περισσὸν ἔχωσιν.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός. Ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλὸς τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τίθησιν ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
Ὁ μισθωτὸς καὶ οὐκ ὢν ποιμήν, οὗ οὐκ ἔστιν τὰ πρόβατα ἴδια, θεωρεῖ τὸν λύκον ἐρχόμενον, καὶ ἀφίησιν τὰ πρόβατα καὶ φεύγει, καὶ ὁ λύκος ἁρπάζει αὐτὰ καὶ σκορπίζει,
The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.
ὅτι μισθωτός ἐστιν καὶ οὐ μέλει αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν προβάτων.
The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.
Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός, καὶ γινώσκω τὰ ἐμὰ, καὶ γινώσκουσί με τὰ ἐμά.
I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
Καθὼς γινώσκει με ὁ Πατὴρ, κἀγὼ γινώσκω τὸν Πατέρα, καὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου τίθημι ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων.
just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
Καὶ ἄλλα πρόβατα ἔχω, ἃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης· κἀκεῖνα δεῖ με ἀγαγεῖν, καὶ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούσουσιν, καὶ γενήσονται μία ποίμνη, εἷς ποιμήν.
I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.
Διὰ τοῦτό, με ὁ Πατὴρ ἀγαπᾷ, ὅτι ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν ψυχήν μου, ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν.
The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.
Οὐδεὶς ἦρεν αὐτὴν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, ἀλλʼ ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ. Ἐξουσίαν ἔχω θεῖναι αὐτήν, καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔχω πάλιν λαβεῖν αὐτήν. Ταύτην τὴν ἐντολὴν ἔλαβον παρὰ τοῦ Πατρός μου.”
No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”
Σχίσμα πάλιν ἐγένετο ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, διὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.
Ἔλεγον δὲ πολλοὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν, “Δαιμόνιον ἔχει, καὶ μαίνεται· τί αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε;”
Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”
Ἄλλοι ἔλεγον, “Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα οὐκ ἔστιν δαιμονιζομένου. Μὴ δαιμόνιον δύναται τυφλῶν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνοῖξαι;”
But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
Ἐγένετο τότε τὰ ἐγκαίνια ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις. Χειμὼν ἦν,
At that time the Feast of Dedication (note: That is, Hanukkah, the historic celebration of the Maccabean Revolt and rededication of the temple) took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
καὶ περιεπάτει ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, ἐν τῇ στοᾷ τοῦ Σολομῶνος.
and Jesus was walking in the temple courts in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Ἐκύκλωσαν οὖν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ ἔλεγον αὐτῷ, “Ἕως πότε τὴν ψυχὴν ἡμῶν αἴρεις; Εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ˚Χριστός, εἰπὲ ἡμῖν παρρησίᾳ.”
So the Jews gathered around Him and demanded, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Εἶπον ὑμῖν καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε. Τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Πατρός μου, ταῦτα μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ,
“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.
ἀλλὰ ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετε, ὅτι οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐκ τῶν προβάτων τῶν ἐμῶν.
But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.
Τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἐμὰ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούουσιν, κἀγὼ γινώσκω αὐτά, καὶ ἀκολουθοῦσίν μοι,
My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
κἀγὼ δίδωμι αὐτοῖς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀπόλωνται, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ οὐχ ἁρπάσει τις αὐτὰ ἐκ τῆς χειρός μου.
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.
Ὁ Πατήρ μου ὃς δέδωκέν μοι, πάντων μεῖζόν ἐστιν, καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται ἁρπάζειν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Πατρός.
My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
Ἐβάστασαν πάλιν λίθους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, ἵνα λιθάσωσιν αὐτόν.
At this, the Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.
Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Πολλὰ ἔργα καλὰ ἔδειξα ὑμῖν ἐκ τοῦ Πατρός· μου διὰ ποῖον αὐτῶν ἔργον, ἐμὲ λιθάζετε;”
But Jesus responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone Me?”
Ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, “Περὶ καλοῦ ἔργου οὐ λιθάζομέν σε, ἀλλὰ περὶ βλασφημίας, καὶ ὅτι σὺ, ἄνθρωπος ὢν, ποιεῖς σεαυτὸν ˚Θεόν.”
“We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, make Yourself out to be God.”
Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Οὐκ ἔστιν γεγραμμένον ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὑμῶν, ὅτι ‘Ἐγὼ εἶπα, “Θεοί ἐστε”’;
Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods (note: Psalm 82:6)’?
Εἰ ἐκείνους εἶπεν ‘θεοὺς’, πρὸς οὓς ὁ λόγος τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐγένετο (καὶ οὐ δύναται λυθῆναι ἡ Γραφή),
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—
ὃν ὁ Πατὴρ ἡγίασεν καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ὑμεῖς λέγετε, ὅτι ‘Βλασφημεῖς’, ὅτι εἶπον, ‘Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ εἰμι’;
then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?
Εἰ οὐ ποιῶ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Πατρός μου, μὴ πιστεύετέ μοι·
If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.
εἰ δὲ ποιῶ, κἂν ἐμοὶ μὴ πιστεύητε, τοῖς ἔργοις πιστεύετε, ἵνα γνῶτε καὶ γινώσκητε ὅτι ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ Πατὴρ, κἀγὼ ἐν τῷ Πατρί.”
But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”
Ἐζήτουν οὖν αὐτὸν πάλιν πιάσαι, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν πάλιν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, εἰς τὸν τόπον ὅπου ἦν Ἰωάννης τὸ πρῶτον βαπτίζων, καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐκεῖ.
Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.
Καὶ πολλοὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Ἰωάννης μὲν σημεῖον ἐποίησεν οὐδέν, πάντα δὲ ὅσα εἶπεν Ἰωάννης περὶ τούτου ἀληθῆ ἦν.”
Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”
