New International Version NIV
1 Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ μὴ εἰσερχόμενος διὰ τῆς θύρας εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τῶν προβάτων ἀλλὰ ἀναβαίνων ἀλλαχόθεν ἐκεῖνος κλέπτης ἐστὶν καὶ λῃστής ·
1
“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.
2 ὁ δὲ εἰσερχόμενος διὰ τῆς θύρας ποιμήν ἐστιν τῶν προβάτων.
2
The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 τούτῳ ὁ θυρωρὸς ἀνοίγει, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούει καὶ τὰ ἴδια πρόβατα φωνεῖ κατ’ ὄνομα καὶ ἐξάγει αὐτά.
3
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 ὅταν τὰ ἴδια πάντα ἐκβάλῃ, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν πορεύεται, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῷ ἀκολουθεῖ, ὅτι οἴδασιν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ·
4
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5 ἀλλοτρίῳ δὲ οὐ μὴ ἀκολουθήσουσιν ἀλλὰ φεύξονται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδασι τῶν ἀλλοτρίων τὴν φωνήν.
5
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
6 ταύτην τὴν παροιμίαν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τίνα ἦν ἃ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς.
6
Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
7 Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα τῶν προβάτων.
7
Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8 πάντες ὅσοι ἦλθον πρὸ ἐμοῦ ⸃ κλέπται εἰσὶν καὶ λῃσταί · ἀλλ’ οὐκ ἤκουσαν αὐτῶν τὰ πρόβατα.
8
All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
9 ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα · δι’ ἐμοῦ ἐάν τις εἰσέλθῃ σωθήσεται καὶ εἰσελεύσεται καὶ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ νομὴν εὑρήσει.
9
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
10 ὁ κλέπτης οὐκ ἔρχεται εἰ μὴ ἵνα κλέψῃ καὶ θύσῃ καὶ ἀπολέσῃ · ἐγὼ ἦλθον ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχωσιν καὶ περισσὸν ἔχωσιν.
10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
11 Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός · ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλὸς τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τίθησιν ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων ·
11
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 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 —
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. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
13 ὅτι μισθωτός ἐστιν καὶ οὐ μέλει αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν προβάτων.
13
The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός, καὶ γινώσκω τὰ ἐμὰ καὶ γινώσκουσί με τὰ ἐμά,
14
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—
15 καθὼς γινώσκει με ὁ πατὴρ κἀγὼ γινώσκω τὸν πατέρα, καὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου τίθημι ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων.
15
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 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.
16
I have other sheep 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 and one shepherd.
17 διὰ τοῦτό με ὁ πατὴρ ⸃ ἀγαπᾷ ὅτι ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν ψυχήν μου, ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν.
17
The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
18 οὐδεὶς αἴρει αὐτὴν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ. ἐξουσίαν ἔχω θεῖναι αὐτήν, καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔχω πάλιν λαβεῖν αὐτήν · ταύτην τὴν ἐντολὴν ἔλαβον παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου.
18
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 command I received from my Father.”
19 Σχίσμα πάλιν ἐγένετο ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις διὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
19
The Jews who heard these words were again divided.
20 ἔλεγον δὲ πολλοὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν · Δαιμόνιον ἔχει καὶ μαίνεται · τί αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε;
20
Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”
21 ἄλλοι ἔλεγον · Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα οὐκ ἔστιν δαιμονιζομένου · μὴ δαιμόνιον δύναται τυφλῶν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνοῖξαι;
21
But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 Ἐγένετο τότε τὰ ἐγκαίνια ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις · χειμὼν ἦν,
22
Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,
23 καὶ περιεπάτει ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐν τῇ στοᾷ τοῦ Σολομῶνος.
23
and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.
24 ἐκύκλωσαν οὖν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ ἔλεγον αὐτῷ · Ἕως πότε τὴν ψυχὴν ἡμῶν αἴρεις; εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστός, εἰπὲ ἡμῖν παρρησίᾳ.
24
The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
25 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Εἶπον ὑμῖν καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε · τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρός μου ταῦτα μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ·
25
Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,
26 ἀλλὰ ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετε, ὅτι οὐκ ⸃ ἐστὲ ἐκ τῶν προβάτων τῶν ἐμῶν.
26
but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
27 τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἐμὰ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούουσιν, κἀγὼ γινώσκω αὐτά, καὶ ἀκολουθοῦσίν μοι,
27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28 κἀγὼ δίδωμι αὐτοῖς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀπόλωνται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ οὐχ ἁρπάσει τις αὐτὰ ἐκ τῆς χειρός μου.
28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 ὁ πατήρ μου ὃ δέδωκέν μοι πάντων μεῖζων ⸃ ἐστιν, καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται ἁρπάζειν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ πατρός.
29
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ἕν ἐσμεν.
30
I and the Father are one.”
31 Ἐβάστασαν οὖν πάλιν λίθους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα λιθάσωσιν αὐτόν.
31
Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,
32 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Πολλὰ ἔργα καλὰ ἔδειξα ὑμῖν ⸃ ἐκ τοῦ πατρός · διὰ ποῖον αὐτῶν ἔργον ἐμὲ λιθάζετε;
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 ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι · Περὶ καλοῦ ἔργου οὐ λιθάζομέν σε ἀλλὰ περὶ βλασφημίας, καὶ ὅτι σὺ ἄνθρωπος ὢν ποιεῖς σεαυτὸν θεόν.
33
“We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
34 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Οὐκ ἔστιν γεγραμμένον ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὑμῶν ὅτι Ἐγὼ εἶπα · Θεοί ἐστε;
34
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’?
35 εἰ ἐκείνους εἶπεν θεοὺς πρὸς οὓς ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ οὐ δύναται λυθῆναι ἡ γραφή,
35
If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—
36 ὃν ὁ πατὴρ ἡγίασεν καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι Βλασφημεῖς, ὅτι εἶπον · Υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ εἰμι;
36
what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
37 εἰ οὐ ποιῶ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρός μου, μὴ πιστεύετέ μοι ·
37
Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.
38 εἰ δὲ ποιῶ, κἂν ἐμοὶ μὴ πιστεύητε τοῖς ἔργοις πιστεύετε, ἵνα γνῶτε καὶ γινώσκητε ὅτι ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ πατὴρ κἀγὼ ἐν τῷ πατρί.
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.”
39 ἐζήτουν οὖν πάλιν αὐτὸν ⸃ πιάσαι · καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
39
Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
40 Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν πάλιν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου εἰς τὸν τόπον ὅπου ἦν Ἰωάννης τὸ πρῶτον βαπτίζων, καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐκεῖ.
40
Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed,
41 καὶ πολλοὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι Ἰωάννης μὲν σημεῖον ἐποίησεν οὐδέν, πάντα δὲ ὅσα εἶπεν Ἰωάννης περὶ τούτου ἀληθῆ ἦν.
41
and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.”
42 καὶ πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
42
And in that place many believed in Jesus.
