约翰福音 10

耶稣是好牧人

1 “我实实在在告诉你们，那不从门进羊圈，倒从别处爬进去的，那人就是贼，就是强盗；2 那从门进去的，才是羊的牧人。3 看门的给他开门，羊也听他的声音；他按著名字呼叫自己的羊，领牠们出来。4 他把自己的羊领出来以后，就走在前头，羊也跟随他，因为认得他的声音。5 牠们决不会跟随陌生人，反而逃避他，因为不认得陌生人的声音。”6 耶稣对他们说了这个譬喻，他们却不明白他所说的是甚么。7 于是耶稣又说：“我实实在在告诉你们，我就是羊的门。8 所有在我以先来的，都是贼和强盗；羊却不听从他们。9 我就是门，如果有人藉着我进来，就必定得救，并且可以出、可以入，也可以找到草场。10 贼来了，不过是要偷窃、杀害、毁坏；我来了，是要使羊得生命，并且得的更丰盛。11 我是好牧人，好牧人为羊舍命。12 那作雇工不是牧人的，羊也不是自己的，他一见狼来，就把羊撇下逃跑，狼就抓住羊群，把他们驱散了；13 因为他是个雇工，对羊群漠不关心。14 我是好牧人，我认识我的羊，我的羊也认识我，15 好像父认识我，我也认识父一样；并且我为羊舍命。16 我还有别的羊，不在这羊圈里；我必须把牠们领来，牠们也要听我的声音，并且要合成一群，归于一个牧人。17 父爱我，因为我把生命舍去，好再把它取回来。18 没有人能夺去我的生命，是我自己舍去的。我有权把生命舍去，也有权把它取回来；这是我从我的父所领受的命令。”19 犹太人因着这些话又起了纷争。20 他们当中有许多人说：“他是鬼附的，他发疯了；为甚么要听他呢？”21 另外有人说：“这话不是鬼附的人所说的。鬼怎能使瞎子的眼睛开了呢？”
犹太人弃绝耶稣22 在耶路撒冷，献殿节到了，那时是冬天。23 耶稣在殿的所罗门廊上走过，24 犹太人围着他，对他说：“你使我们心里悬疑不定，要到几时呢？如果你是基督，就公开地告诉我们吧！”25 耶稣对他们说：“我已经告诉你们，你们却不相信；我奉我父的名所作的事，可以为我作证。26 只是你们不信，因为你们不是我的羊。27 我的羊听我的声音，我也认识他们，他们也跟随我。28 我赐给他们永生，他们永不灭亡，谁也不能把他们从我手里夺去。29 那位把羊群赐给我的父比一切都大，也没有人能把他们从我父的手里夺去。30 我与父原为一。”31 犹太人又拿起石头要打他。32 耶稣对他们说：“我把许多从父那里来的善事显给你们看，你们因哪一件要用石头打我呢？”33 犹太人对他说：“我们不是因为善事用石头打你，而是因为你说了僭妄的话；又因为你是个人，竟然把自己当作 神。”34 耶稣说：“你们的律法上不是写着‘我说你们是神’吗？35 圣经是不能废除的，如果那些承受 神的道的人， 神尚且称他们是神，36 那么父所分别为圣又差到世上来的，他自称是 神的儿子，你们就说他说了僭妄 神的话吗？37 我若不作我父的事，你们就不必信我；38 我若作了，你们纵然不信我，也应当信这些事，好使你们确实知道，我父是在我里面，我也在父里面。”39 他们又要逮捕耶稣，他却从他们的手中逃脱了。40 耶稣又往约旦河东去，到约翰从前施洗的地方，住在那里。41 许多人到他那里去，说：“约翰没有行过一件神蹟，但约翰指着这人所说的一切话，都是真实的。”42 在那里就有许多人信了耶稣。

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.
