約翰福音 10

耶穌是好牧人

1 “我實實在在告訴你們，那不從門進羊圈，倒從別處爬進去的，那人就是賊，就是強盜；2 那從門進去的，才是羊的牧人。3 看門的給他開門，羊也聽他的聲音；他按著名字呼叫自己的羊，領牠們出來。4 他把自己的羊領出來以後，就走在前頭，羊也跟隨他，因為認得他的聲音。5 牠們決不會跟隨陌生人，反而逃避他，因為不認得陌生人的聲音。”

6 耶穌對他們說了這個譬喻，他們卻不明白他所說的是甚麼。
7 於是耶穌又說：“我實實在在告訴你們，我就是羊的門。8 所有在我以先來的，都是賊和強盜；羊卻不聽從他們。9 我就是門，如果有人藉著我進來，就必定得救，並且可以出、可以入，也可以找到草場。10 賊來了，不過是要偷竊、殺害、毀壞；我來了，是要使羊得生命，並且得的更豐盛。11 我是好牧人，好牧人為羊捨命。12 那作雇工不是牧人的，羊也不是自己的，他一見狼來，就把羊撇下逃跑，狼就抓住羊群，把他們驅散了；13 因為他是個雇工，對羊群漠不關心。14 我是好牧人，我認識我的羊，我的羊也認識我，15 好像父認識我，我也認識父一樣；並且我為羊捨命。16 我還有別的羊，不在這羊圈裡；我必須把牠們領來，牠們也要聽我的聲音，並且要合成一群，歸於一個牧人。17 父愛我，因為我把生命捨去，好再把它取回來。

18 沒有人能奪去我的生命，是我自己捨去的。我有權把生命捨去，也有權把它取回來；這是我從我的父所領受的命令。”
19 猶太人因著這些話又起了紛爭。20 他們當中有許多人說：“他是鬼附的，他發瘋了；為甚麼要聽他呢？”

21 另外有人說：“這話不是鬼附的人所說的。鬼怎能使瞎子的眼睛開了呢？”
猶太人棄絕耶穌
22 在耶路撒冷，獻殿節到了，那時是冬天。23 耶穌在殿的所羅門廊上走過，24 猶太人圍著他，對他說：“你使我們心裡懸疑不定，要到幾時呢？如果你是基督，就公開地告訴我們吧！”25 耶穌對他們說：“我已經告訴你們，你們卻不相信；我奉我父的名所作的事，可以為我作證。26 只是你們不信，因為你們不是我的羊。27 我的羊聽我的聲音，我也認識他們，他們也跟隨我。28 我賜給他們永生，他們永不滅亡，誰也不能把他們從我手裡奪去。29 那位把羊群賜給我的父比一切都大，也沒有人能把他們從我父的手裡奪去。

30 我與父原為一。”
31 猶太人又拿起石頭要打他。32 耶穌對他們說：“我把許多從父那裡來的善事顯給你們看，你們因哪一件要用石頭打我呢？”33 猶太人對他說：“我們不是因為善事用石頭打你，而是因為你說了僭妄的話；又因為你是個人，竟然把自己當作　神。”34 耶穌說：“你們的律法上不是寫著‘我說你們是神’嗎？35 聖經是不能廢除的，如果那些承受　神的道的人，　神尚且稱他們是神，36 那麼父所分別為聖又差到世上來的，他自稱是　神的兒子，你們就說他說了僭妄　神的話嗎？37 我若不作我父的事，你們就不必信我；38 我若作了，你們縱然不信我，也應當信這些事，好使你們確實知道，我父是在我裡面，我也在父裡面。”

39 他們又要逮捕耶穌，他卻從他們的手中逃脫了。
40 耶穌又往約旦河東去，到約翰從前施洗的地方，住在那裡。41 許多人到他那裡去，說：“約翰沒有行過一件神蹟，但約翰指著這人所說的一切話，都是真實的。”

42 在那裡就有許多人信了耶穌。

John 10

Jesus as the Good Shepherd

1 “I tell you the solemn truth,t the one who does not enter the sheepfolds by the door,t but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.2 The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.3 The doorkeeperts opens the doort for him,t and the sheep hear his voice. Het calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.s4 When he has brought all his own sheept out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognizet his voice.5 They will never follow a stranger,t but will run away from him, because they do not recognizet the stranger’s voice.”t

6 Jesus told them this parable,s but theyt did not understandt what he was saying to them.
7 So Jesus said to them again, “I tell you the solemn truth,t I am the door for the sheep.t8 All who came before me weret thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.t9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out,t and find pasture.s

10 The thief comes only to steal and killt and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.t
11 “I am the goodt shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his lifets for the sheep.12 The hired hand,s who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandonst the sheep and runs away.t So the wolf attackst the sheep and scatters them.

13 Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep,t he runs away.s
14 “I am the good shepherd. It know my ownt and my own know me –15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father – and I lay down my lifet fort the sheep.16 I havet other sheep that do not come fromt this sheepfold.s I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice,t so thatt there will be one flock andt one shepherd.17 This is why the Father loves met – because I lay down my life,t so that I may take it back again.

18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it downt of my own free will.t I have the authorityt to lay it down, and I have the authorityt to take it back again. This commandmentt I received from my Father.”
19 Another sharp division took place among the Jewish peoplet because of these words.20 Many of them were saying, “He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind!t Why do you listen to him?”

21 Others said, “These are not the wordst of someone possessed by a demon. A demon cannot cause the blind to see,t can it?”t

Jesus at the Feast of Dedication

22 Then came the feast of the Dedicationts in Jerusalem.s23 It was winter,s and Jesus was walking in the temple areat in Solomon’s Portico.ts24 The Jewish leaderst surrounded him and asked,t “How long will you keep us in suspense?t If you are the Christ,ts tell us plainly.”t25 Jesus replied,t “I told you and you do not believe. The deedst I do in my Father’s name testify about me.26 But you refuse to believe because you are not my sheep.27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.28 I givet them eternal life, and they will never perish;t no one will snatcht them from my hand.29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,t and no one can snatcht them from my Father’s hand.

30 The Father and It are one.”t
31 The Jewish leaderst picked up rocks again to stone him to death.32 Jesus said to them,t “I have shown you many good deedst from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?”

33 The Jewish leaderst replied,t “We are not going to stone you for a good deedt but for blasphemy,s becauset you, a man, are claiming to be God.”t
34 Jesus answered,t “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?s35 If those people to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’ (and the scripture cannot be broken),s36 do you say about the one whom the Father set apartt and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?37 If I do not performt the deedst of my Father, do not believe me.38 But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds,ts so that you may come to knowt and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.”

39 Thens they attemptedt again to seize him, but he escaped their clutches.ts
40 Jesust went back across the Jordan Rivert again to the place where Johns had been baptizing at an earlier time,ts and he stayed there.41 Manyt came to him and began to say, “Johns performedt no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this mant was true!”

42 And many believed in Jesust there.
