إِنْجِيلُ يُوحَنَّا 10

أنا هو الراعي الصالح

1 «اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَدْخُلُ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى حَظِيرَةِ ٱلْخِرَافِ، بَلْ يَطْلَعُ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ، فَذَاكَ سَارِقٌ وَلِصٌّ. 2 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ فَهُوَ رَاعِي ٱلْخِرَافِ. 3 لِهَذَا يَفْتَحُ ٱلْبَوَّابُ، وَٱلْخِرَافُ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ، فَيَدْعُو خِرَافَهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ بِأَسْمَاءٍ وَيُخْرِجُهَا. 4 وَمَتَى أَخْرَجَ خِرَافَهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةَ يَذْهَبُ أَمَامَهَا، وَٱلْخِرَافُ تَتْبَعُهُ، لِأَنَّهَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَهُ. 5 وَأَمَّا ٱلْغَرِيبُ فَلَا تَتْبَعُهُ بَلْ تَهْرُبُ مِنْهُ، لِأَنَّهَا لَا تَعْرِفُ صَوْتَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ».

6 هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلُ قَالَهُ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ، وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا مَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِهِ.
7 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي أَنَا بَابُ ٱلْخِرَافِ. 8 جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَتَوْا قَبْلِي هُمْ سُرَّاقٌ وَلُصُوصٌ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْخِرَافَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ. 9 أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْبَابُ. إِنْ دَخَلَ بِي أَحَدٌ فَيَخْلُصُ وَيَدْخُلُ وَيَخْرُجُ وَيَجِدُ مَرْعًى. 10 اَلسَّارِقُ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَّا لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ وَلِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ. 11 أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ، وَٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ يَبْذِلُ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ ٱلْخِرَافِ. 12 وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَجِيرٌ، وَلَيْسَ رَاعِيًا، ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَتِ ٱلْخِرَافُ لَهُ، فَيَرَى ٱلذِّئْبَ مُقْبِلًا وَيَتْرُكُ ٱلْخِرَافَ وَيَهْرُبُ، فَيَخْطَفُ ٱلذِّئْبُ ٱلْخِرَافَ وَيُبَدِّدُهَا. 13 وَٱلْأَجِيرُ يَهْرُبُ لِأَنَّهُ أَجِيرٌ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِٱلْخِرَافِ. 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي ٱلرَّاعِي ٱلصَّالِحُ، وَأَعْرِفُ خَاصَّتِي وَخَاصَّتِي تَعْرِفُنِي، 15 كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ يَعْرِفُنِي وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ ٱلْآبَ. وَأَنَا أَضَعُ نَفْسِي عَنِ ٱلْخِرَافِ. 16 وَلِي خِرَافٌ أُخَرُ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ، يَنْبَغِي أَنْ آتِيَ بِتِلْكَ أَيْضًا فَتَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، وَتَكُونُ رَعِيَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَرَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ. 17 لِهَذَا يُحِبُّنِي ٱلْآبُ، لِأَنِّي أَضَعُ نَفْسِي لِآخُذَهَا أَيْضًا.

18 لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَأْخُذُهَا مِنِّي، بَلْ أَضَعُهَا أَنَا مِنْ ذَاتِي. لِي سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ أَضَعَهَا وَلِي سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ آخُذَهَا أَيْضًا. هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ قَبِلْتُهَا مِنْ أَبِي».
19 فَحَدَثَ أَيْضًا ٱنْشِقَاقٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ بِسَبَبِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. 20 فَقَالَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْهُمْ: «بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ وَهُوَ يَهْذِي. لِمَاذَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ لَهُ؟».

21 آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «لَيْسَ هَذَا كَلَامَ مَنْ بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ. أَلَعَلَّ شَيْطَانًا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ أَعْيُنَ ٱلْعُمْيَانِ؟».

عدم إيمان اليهود

30 أَنَا وَٱلْآبُ وَاحِدٌ».
31 فَتَنَاوَلَ ٱلْيَهُودُ أَيْضًا حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ. 32 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَعْمَالًا كَثِيرَةً حَسَنَةً أَرَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي. بِسَبَبِ أَيِّ عَمَلٍ مِنْهَا تَرْجُمُونَنِي؟». 33 أَجَابَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ قَائِلِينَ: «لَسْنَا نَرْجُمُكَ لِأَجْلِ عَمَلٍ حَسَنٍ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ تَجْدِيفٍ، فَإِنَّكَ وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ إِلَهًا». 34 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَلَيْسَ مَكْتُوبًا فِي نَامُوسِكُمْ: أَنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ؟ 35 إِنْ قَالَ آلِهَةٌ لِأُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَارَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ ٱللهِ، وَلَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنْقَضَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبُ، 36 فَٱلَّذِي قَدَّسَهُ ٱلْآبُ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، أَتَقُولُونَ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ تُجَدِّفُ، لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: إِنِّي ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ؟ 37 إِنْ كُنْتُ لَسْتُ أَعْمَلُ أَعْمَالَ أَبِي فَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا بِي.

38 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَعْمَلُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي فَآمِنُوا بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا وَتُؤْمِنُوا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيهِ».
39 فَطَلَبُوا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ، 40 وَمَضَى أَيْضًا إِلَى عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ فِيهِ أَوَّلًا وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ. 41 فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرُونَ وَقَالُوا: «إِنَّ يُوحَنَّا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ آيَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَلَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا قَالَهُ يُوحَنَّا عَنْ هَذَا كَانَ حَقًّا». 42 فَآمَنَ كَثِيرُونَ بِهِ هُنَاكَ.

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.
