1. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, the person who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
|
1. Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , He that entereth G1525 not G3361 by G1223 the G3588 door G2374 into G1519 the G3588 sheepfold G833 G4263 , but G235 climbeth up G305 some other way G237 , the same G1565 is G2076 a thief G2812 and G2532 a robber G3027 .
|
|
2. The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
|
2. But G1161 he that entereth in G1525 by G1223 the G3588 door G2374 is G2076 the G3588 shepherd G4166 of the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
3. The one who guards the door opens it for him. And the sheep listen to the voice of the shepherd. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
|
3. To him G5129 the G3588 porter G2377 openeth G455 ; and G2532 the G3588 sheep G4263 hear G191 his G846 voice G5456 : and G2532 he calleth G2564 his own G2398 sheep G4263 by G2596 name G3686 , and G2532 leadeth them out G1806 G846 .
|
|
4. When he brings all his sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice.
|
4. And G2532 when G3752 he putteth forth G1544 his own G2398 sheep G4263 , he goeth G4198 before G1715 them G846 , and G2532 the G3588 sheep G4263 follow G190 him G846 : for G3754 they know G1492 his G846 voice G5456 .
|
|
5. But they will never follow a stranger. They will run away from him because they don't know his voice."
|
5. And G1161 a stranger G245 will they not G3364 follow G190 , but G235 will flee G5343 from G575 him G846 : for G3754 they know G1492 not G3756 the G3588 voice G5456 of strangers G245 .
|
|
6. Jesus told the people this story, but they did not understand what it meant.
|
6. This G5026 parable G3942 spake G2036 Jesus G2424 unto them G846 : but G1161 they G1565 understood G1097 not G3756 what things G5101 they were G2258 which G3739 he spake G2980 unto them G846 .
|
|
7. So Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the door for the sheep.
|
7. Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto them G846 again G3825 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 G3754 , I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 door G2374 of the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
8. All the people who came before me were thieves and robbers. The sheep did not listen to them.
|
8. All G3956 that G3745 ever came G2064 before G4253 me G1700 are G1526 thieves G2812 and G2532 robbers G3027 : but G235 the G3588 sheep G4263 did not G3756 hear G191 them G846 .
|
|
9. I am the door, and the person who enters through me will be saved and will be able to come in and go out and find pasture.
|
9. I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 door G2374 : by G1223 me G1700 if G1437 any man G5100 enter in G1525 , he shall be saved G4982 , and G2532 shall go in G1525 and G2532 out G1831 , and G2532 find G2147 pasture G3542 .
|
|
10. A thief comes to steal and kill and destroy, but I came to give life -- life in all its fullness.
|
10. The G3588 thief G2812 cometh G2064 not G3756 , but G1508 for to G2443 steal G2813 , and G2532 to kill G2380 , and G2532 to destroy G622 : I G1473 am come G2064 that G2443 they might have G2192 life G2222 , and G2532 that they might have G2192 it more abundantly G4053 .
|
|
11. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
|
11. I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 good G2570 shepherd G4166 : the G3588 good G2570 shepherd G4166 giveth G5087 his G846 life G5590 for G5228 the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
12. The worker who is paid to keep the sheep is different from the shepherd who owns them. When the worker sees a wolf coming, he runs away and leaves the sheep alone. Then the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.
|
12. But G1161 he that is a hireling G3411 , and G2532 not G3756 the G5607 shepherd G4166 , whose G3739 own G2398 the G3588 sheep G4263 are G1526 not G3756 , seeth G2334 the G3588 wolf G3074 coming G2064 , and G2532 leaveth G863 the G3588 sheep G4263 , and G2532 fleeth G5343 : and G2532 the G3588 wolf G3074 catcheth G726 them G846 , and G2532 scattereth G4650 the G3588 sheep G4263 .
|
|
13. The man runs away because he is only a paid worker and does not really care about the sheep.
|
13. G1161 The G3588 hireling G3411 fleeth G5343 , because G3754 he is G2076 a hireling G3411 , and G2532 careth G3199 not G3756 for G4012 the G3588 sheep G4263 .
