約翰福音 10

羊圈的比喻

1 「我實實在在地告訴你們，人進羊圈，不從門進去，倒從別處爬進去，那人就是賊，就是強盜。 2 從門進去的，才是羊的牧人。 3 看門的就給他開門；羊也聽他的聲音。他按著名叫自己的羊，把羊領出來。 4 既放出自己的羊來，就在前頭走，羊也跟著他，因為認得他的聲音。 5 羊不跟著生人；因為不認得他的聲音， 必要逃跑。」 6 耶穌將這比喻告訴他們，但他們不明白所說的是甚麼意思。

好牧人耶穌

7 所以，耶穌又對他們說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，我就是羊的門。 8 凡在我以先來的都是賊，是強盜；羊卻不聽他們。 9 我就是門；凡從我進來的，必然得救，並且出入得草吃。 10 盜賊來，無非要偷竊，殺害，毀壞；我來了，是要叫羊t得生命，並且得的更豐盛。 11 我是好牧人；好牧人為羊捨命。 12 若是雇工，不是牧人，羊也不是他自己的，他看見狼來，就撇下羊逃走；狼抓住羊，趕散了羊群。 13 雇工逃走，因他是雇工，並不顧念羊。 14 我是好牧人；我認識我的羊，我的羊也認識我， 15 正如父認識我，我也認識父一樣；並且我為羊捨命。 16 我另外有羊，不是這圈裏的；我必須領他們來，他們也要聽我的聲音，並且要合成一群，歸一個牧人了。 17 我父愛我；因我將命捨去，好再取回來。 18 沒有人奪我的命去，是我自己捨的。我有權柄捨了，也有權柄取回來。這是我從我父所受的命令。」

19  猶太人為這些話又起了紛爭。 20 內中有好些人說：「他是被鬼附著，而且瘋了，為甚麼聽他呢？」 21 又有人說：「這不是鬼附之人所說的話。鬼豈能叫瞎子的眼睛開了呢？」

被猶太人棄絕

22 在耶路撒冷有修殿節，是冬天的時候。 23 耶穌在殿裏所羅門的廊下行走。 24 猶太人圍著他，說：「你叫我們猶疑不定到幾時呢？你若是基督，就明明地告訴我們。」 25 耶穌回答說：「我已經告訴你們，你們不信。我奉我父之名所行的事可以為我作見證； 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，他們也跟著我。 28 我又賜給他們永生；他們永不滅亡，誰也不能從我手裏把他們奪去。 29 我父把羊賜給我，他比萬有都大，誰也不能從我父手裏把他們奪去。 30 我與父原為一。」

31  猶太人又拿起石頭來要打他。 32 耶穌對他們說：「我從父顯出許多善事給你們看，你們是為哪一件拿石頭打我呢？」 33 猶太人回答說：「我們不是為善事拿石頭打你，是為你說僭妄的話；又為你是個人，反將自己當作上帝。」 34 耶穌說：「你們的律法上豈不是寫著『我曾說你們是神』嗎？ 35 經上的話是不能廢的；若那些承受上帝道的人尚且稱為神， 36 父所分別為聖、又差到世間來的，他自稱是上帝的兒子，你們還向他說『你說僭妄的話』嗎？ 37 我若不行我父的事，你們就不必信我； 38 我若行了，你們縱然不信我，也當信這些事，叫你們又知道又明白父在我裏面，我也在父裏面。」 39 他們又要拿他，他卻逃出他們的手走了。

40 耶穌又往約旦河外去，到了約翰起初施洗的地方，就住在那裏。 41 有許多人來到他那裏。他們說：「約翰一件神蹟沒有行過，但約翰指著這人所說的一切話都是真的。」 42 在那裏，信耶穌的人就多了。

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.
