John 10

English Standard Version



1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” (Joh 10:12) 6 This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. (Mr 9:32; Joh 9:40) 7 So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. (Joh 10:9; Joh 14:6; Eph 2:18) 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. (Ps 23:2; Eze 34:14; Joh 5:34) 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (Jer 23:1; Eze 34:3) 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. (Isa 40:11; Eze 34:12; Eze 34:23; Eze 37:24; Zec 13:7; Mt 20:28; Mr 10:45; Joh 10:15; Joh 10:17; Joh 15:13; Joh 21:15; Heb 13:20; 1Pe 2:25; 1Pe 5:4; 1Jo 3:16; Re 7:17) 12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. (Jer 23:1; Eze 34:2; Zec 11:17; Zec 13:7) 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. (Zec 11:16; 1Pe 5:2) 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, (Na 1:7; Joh 10:4; Joh 10:11; Joh 10:27; 2Ti 2:19) 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. (Mt 11:27; Joh 10:11) 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. (Isa 56:8; Eze 34:11; Eze 34:23; Eze 37:24; Mt 8:11; Joh 5:25; Joh 11:52; Joh 12:32; Joh 17:11; Joh 17:21; Joh 18:37; Ac 28:28; Eph 2:13; 1Pe 2:25) 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. (Isa 53:7; Isa 53:12; Joh 5:20; Joh 10:11; Php 2:9; Heb 2:9) 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” (Mt 26:53; Joh 2:19; Joh 5:30; Joh 10:17; Joh 12:49; Joh 14:31; Joh 15:10; Php 2:7) 19 There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. (Joh 7:43; Joh 9:16) 20 Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?” (Mr 3:21; Joh 7:20) 21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” (Ex 4:11; Ps 146:8; Joh 9:33) 



22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. (Ac 3:11; Ac 5:12) 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” (Mt 26:63; Lu 22:67; Joh 1:41) 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, (Joh 5:36; Joh 5:43; Joh 10:38) 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. (Joh 8:47) 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (Joh 10:14; Joh 10:16) 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (Joh 6:37; Joh 17:12; Joh 18:9; 1Jo 2:25; 1Jo 5:11) 29 My Father, who has given them to me,[1] is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. (De 32:39; Isa 49:2; Isa 51:16; Joh 6:37; Joh 14:28; Joh 17:2) 30 I and the Father are one.” (Joh 5:19; Joh 14:9; Joh 17:11; Joh 17:22) 31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. (Joh 8:59) 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” (Le 24:16; Mt 9:3; Joh 5:18) 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? (Ps 82:6; Joh 12:34; Joh 15:25; 1Co 14:21) 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— (Mt 5:17; Mt 5:19) 36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? (Joh 3:17; Joh 5:17; Joh 6:27; Joh 10:30) 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; (Joh 15:24) 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 am in the Father.” (Joh 8:29; Joh 10:25; Joh 14:10; Joh 14:11; Joh 14:20; Joh 17:21; Joh 17:23) 39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands. (Joh 7:30; Joh 7:44) 40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. (Joh 1:28) 41 And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.” (Joh 1:7; Joh 1:29; Joh 3:27; Joh 5:33) 42 And many believed in him there. (Joh 7:31)

الكتاب المقدس



1 «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى حَظِيرَةِ الْخِرَافِ مِنْ غَيْرِ بَابِهَا فَيَتَسَلَّقُ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ، هُوَ سَارِقٌ وَلِصٌّ. 2 أَمَّا الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنَ الْبَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي الْخِرَافِ، 3 وَالْبَوَّابُ يَفْتَحُ لَهُ، وَالْخِرَافُ تُصْغِي إِلَى صَوْتِهِ، فَيُنَادِي خِرَافَهُ الْخَاصَّةَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بِاسْمِهِ، وَيَقُودُهَا إِلَى خَارِجِ الْحَظِيرَةِ. 4 وَمَتَى أَخْرَجَهَا كُلَّهَا، يَسِيرُ أَمَامَهَا وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُهُ، لأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ. 5 وَهِيَ لَا تَتْبَعُ مَنْ كَانَ غَرِيباً، بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ الْغُرَبَاءِ». 6 ضَرَبَ يَسُوعُ لَهُمْ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ، وَلكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَغْزَى كَلامِهِ. 7 لِذلِكَ عَادَ فَقَالَ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَنَا بَابُ الْخِرَافِ. 8 جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا قَبْلِي كَانُوا لُصُوصاً وَسُرَّاقاً، وَلكِنَّ الْخِرَافَ لَمْ تُصْغِ إِلَيْهِمْ. 9 أَنَا الْبَابُ. مَنْ دَخَلَ بِي يَخْلُصْ، فَيَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَجِدُ الْمَرْعَى. 10 السَّارِقُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلّا لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ، بَلْ مِلْءُ الْحَيَاةِ! 11 أَنَا الرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ، وَالرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ يَبْذِلُ حَيَاتَهُ فِدَى خِرَافِهِ. 12 وَلَيْسَ الأَجِيرُ كَالرَّاعِي، لأَنَّ الْخِرَافَ لَيْسَتْ مِلْكَهُ. فَعِنْدَمَا يَرَى الذِّئْبَ قَادِماً، يَتْرُكُ الْخِرَافَ لِيَنْجُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ، فَيَخْطَفُ الذِّئْبُ الْخِرَافَ وَيُبَدِّدُهَا. 13 إِنَّهُ يَهْرُبُ لأَنَّهُ أَجِيرٌ وَلا يُبَالِي بِالْخِرَافِ! 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي الرَّاعِي الصَّالِحُ، وَأَعْرِفُ خِرَافِي، وَخِرَافِي تَعْرِفُنِي، 15 مِثْلَمَا يَعْرِفُنِي الآبُ وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ. وَأَنَا أَبْذِلُ حَيَاتِي فِدَى خِرَافِي. 16 وَلِي خِرَافٌ أُخْرَى لَا تَنْتَمِي إِلَى هذِهِ الْحَظِيرَةِ، لابُدَّ أَنْ أَجْمَعَهَا إِلَيَّ أَيْضاً، وَتُصْغِيَ لِصَوْتِي؛ فَيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ قَطِيعٌ وَاحِدٌ وَرَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ. 17 إِنَّ الآبَ يُحِبُّنِي لأَنِّي أَبْذِلُ حَيَاتِي لِكَيْ أَسْتَرِدَّهَا. 18 لَا أَحَدَ يَنْتَزِعُ حَيَاتِي مِنِّي، بَلْ أَنَا أَبْذِلُهَا بِاخْتِيَارِي. فَلِي السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ أَبْذِلَهَا وَلِيَ السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ أَسْتَرِدَّهَا. هذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةُ تَلَقَّيْتُهَا مِنْ أَبِي». 19 فَانْقَسَمَ الْيَهُودُ فِي الرَّأْيِ حَوْلَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ. 20 فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ: «إِنَّ شَيْطَاناً يَسْكُنُهُ، وَهُوَ يَهْذِي. فَلِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ؟» 21 وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: «لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلامَ مَنْ يَسْكُنُهُ شَيْطَانٌ. أَيَسْتَطِيعُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ عُيُونَ الْعُمْيَانِ؟» 



22 وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ الاِحْتِفَالِ بِعِيدِ تَجْدِيدِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فِي الشِّتَاءِ، 23 كَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَمَشَّى فِي الْهَيْكَلِ فِي قَاعَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ. 24 فَتَجَمَّعَ حَوْلَهُ الْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «حَتَّى مَتَى تُبْقِينَا حَائِرِينَ بِشَأْنِكَ؟ إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ حَقّاً، فَقُلْ لَنَا صَرَاحَةً». 25 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «قُلْتُ لَكُمْ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ. وَالأَعْمَالُ الَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا بِاسْمِ أَبِي، هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي. 26 وَلكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ خِرَافِي. 27 فَخِرَافِي تُصْغِي لِصَوْتِي، وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهَا وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُنِي، 28 وَأُعْطِيهَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، فَلا تَهْلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَلا يَنْتَزِعُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ يَدِي. 29 إِنَّ الآبَ الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ، وَلا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَنْتَزِعَ مِنْ يَدِ الآبِ شَيْئاً. 30 أَنَا وَالآبُ وَاحِدٌ!» 31 فَرَفَعَ الْيَهُودُ، مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ. 32 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَرَيْتُكُمْ أَعْمَالاً صَالِحَةً كَثِيرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي، فَبِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ مِنْهَا تَرْجُمُونَنِي؟» 33 أَجَابُوهُ: «لا نَرْجُمُكَ بِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، بَلْ بِسَبَبِ تَجْدِيفِكَ: لأَنَّكَ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ اللهَ، وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ!» 34 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ مَكْتُوباً فِي شَرِيعَتِكُمْ: أَنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ؟ 35 فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّرِيعَةُ تَدْعُو أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَزَلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ آلِهَةً وَالْكِتَابُ لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنْقَضَ 36 فَهَلْ تَقُولُونَ لِمَنْ قَدَّسَهُ الآبُ وَبَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ: أَنْتَ تُجَدِّفُ، لأَنِّي قُلْتُ: أَنَا ابْنُ اللهِ؟ 37 إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَ أَبِي، فَلا تُصَدِّقُونِي. 38 أَمَّا إِنْ كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ، فَصَدِّقُوا تِلْكَ الأَعْمَالَ، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي أَنَا. عِنْدَئِذٍ تَعْرِفُونَ وَيَتَأَكَّدُ لَكُمْ أَنَّ الآبَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ». 39 فَأَرَادُوا ثَانِيَةً أَنْ يُلْقُوا الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَفْلَتَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ، 40 وَرَجَعَ إِلَى الضَّفَّةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَقَامَ هُنَاكَ. 41 فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «مَا عَمِلَ يُوحَنَّا آيَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلكِنَّ كُلَّ مَا قَالَهُ عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ كَانَ حَقّاً!» 42 وَآمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ هُنَاكَ.
