New Testament

John 10

1Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

αμην αμην λεγω υμιν, ο μη εισερχομενος δια της θυρας εις την αυλην των προβατων, αλλα αναβαινων αλλαχοθεν, εκεινος κλεπτης εστιν και ληστης·

2But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

ο δε εισερχομενος δια της θυρας ποιμην εστιν των προβατων.

3To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

τουτω ο θυρωρος ανοιγει, και τα προβατα της φωνης αυτου ακουει, και τα ιδια προβατα καλει κατ ονομα και εξαγει αυτα.

4And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

και οταν τα ιδια προβατα εκβαλη, εμπροσθεν αυτων πορευεται, και τα προβατα αυτω ακολουθει, οτι οιδασιν την φωνην αυτου·

5Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.'

αλλοτριω δε ου μη ακολουθησωσιν, αλλα φευξονται απ αυτου, οτι ουκ οιδασιν των αλλοτριων την φωνην.

6Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

ταυτην την παροιμιαν ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους· εκεινοι δε ουκ εγνωσαν τινα ην α ελαλει αυτοις.

7Then Jesus said to them again, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

ειπεν ουν παλιν αυτοις ο ιησους· αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εγω ειμι η θυρα των προβατων.

8All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

παντες οσοι ηλθον προ εμου, κλεπται εισιν και λησται· αλλ ουκ ηκουσαν αυτων τα προβατα.

9I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

εγω ειμι η θυρα· δι εμου εαν τις εισελθη, σωθησεται, και εισελευσεται και εξελευσεται, και νομην ευρησει.

10The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

ο κλεπτης ουκ ερχεται ει μη ινα κλεψη και θυση και απολεση· εγω ηλθον ινα ζωην εχωσιν και περισσον εχωσιν.

11'I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

εγω ειμι ο ποιμην ο καλος. ο ποιμην ο καλος την ψυχην αυτου τιθησιν υπερ των προβατων·

12But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

ο μισθωτος δε και ουκ ων ποιμην, ου ουκ εισιν τα προβατα ιδια, θεωρει τον λυκον ερχομενον και αφιησιν τα προβατα και φευγει· και ο λυκος αρπαζει αυτα και σκορπιζει τα προβατα.

13The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

ο δε μισθωτος φευγει, οτι μισθωτος εστιν και ου μελει αυτω περι των προβατων.

14I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.

εγω ειμι ο ποιμην ο καλος, και γινωσκω τα εμα και γινωσκομαι υπο των εμων,

15As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

καθως γινωσκει με ο πατηρ καγω γινωσκω τον πατερα, και την ψυχην μου τιθημι υπερ των προβατων.

16And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

και αλλα προβατα εχω, α ουκ εστιν εκ της αυλης ταυτης· κακεινα με δει αγαγειν, και της φωνης μου ακουσουσιν, και γενησεται μια ποιμνη, εις ποιμην.

17'Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.

δια τουτο ο πατηρ με αγαπα, οτι εγω τιθημι την ψυχην μου, ινα παλιν λαβω αυτην.

18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.'

ουδεις αιρει αυτην απ εμου, αλλ εγω τιθημι αυτην απ εμαυτου· εξουσιαν εχω θειναι αυτην, και εξουσιαν εχω παλιν λαβειν αυτην· ταυτην την εντολην ελαβον παρα του πατρος μου.

19Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.

σχισμα ουν παλιν εγενετο εν τοις ιουδαιοις δια τους λογους τουτους.

20And many of them said, 'He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?'

ελεγον δε πολλοι εξ αυτων· δαιμονιον εχει και μαινεται· τι αυτου ακουετε;

21Others said, 'These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?'

αλλοι ελεγον· ταυτα τα ρηματα ουκ εστιν δαιμονιζομενου· μη δαιμονιον δυναται τυφλων οφθαλμους ανοιγειν;

22Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

εγενετο δε τα εγκαινια εν τοις ιεροσολυμοις, και χειμων ην·

23And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

και περιεπατει ο ιησους εν τω ιερω εν τη στοα του σολομωνος.

24Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, 'How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.'

εκυκλωσαν ουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι και ελεγον αυτω· εως ποτε την ψυχην ημων αιρεις; ει συ ει ο χριστος, ειπε ημιν παρρησια.

25Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.

απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους· ειπον υμιν, και ου πιστευετε· τα εργα α εγω ποιω εν τω ονοματι του πατρος μου, ταυτα μαρτυρει περι εμου·

26But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

αλλ υμεις ου πιστευετε· ου γαρ εστε εκ των προβατων των εμων, καθως ειπον υμιν.

27My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

τα προβατα τα εμα της φωνης μου ακουει, καγω γινωσκω αυτα, και ακολουθουσιν μοι,

28And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

καγω ζωην αιωνιον διδωμι αυτοις, και ου μη απολωνται εις τον αιωνα, και ουχ αρπασει τις αυτα εκ της χειρος μου.

29My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.

ο πατηρ μου, ος δεδωκεν μοι, μειζων παντων εστιν, και ουδεις δυναται αρπαζειν εκ της χειρος του πατρος μου.

30I and My Father are one.'

εγω και ο πατηρ εν εσμεν.

31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

εβαστασαν ουν παλιν λιθους οι ιουδαιοι ινα λιθασωσιν αυτον.

32Jesus answered them, 'Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?'

απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους· πολλα καλα εργα εδειξα υμιν εκ του πατρος μου· δια ποιον αυτων εργον λιθαζετε με;

33The Jews answered Him, saying, 'For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.'

απεκριθησαν αυτω οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντες· περι καλου εργου ου λιθαζομεν σε, αλλα περι βλασφημιας, και οτι συ ανθρωπος ων ποιεις σεαυτον θεον.

34Jesus answered them, 'Is it not written in your law, 'I said, 'You are gods''?

απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους· ουκ εστιν γεγραμμενον εν τω νομω υμων, εγω ειπα, θεοι εστε;

35If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

ει εκεινους ειπεν θεους, προς ους ο λογος του θεου εγενετο, και ου δυναται λυθηναι η γραφη,

36do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

ον ο πατηρ ηγιασεν και απεστειλεν εις τον κοσμον, υμεις λεγετε οτι βλασφημεις, οτι ειπον, υιος του θεου ειμι;

37If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;

ει ου ποιω τα εργα του πατρος μου, μη πιστευετε μοι·

38but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.'

ει δε ποιω, καν εμοι μη πιστευητε, τοις εργοις πιστευσατε, ινα γνωτε και πιστευσητε οτι εν εμοι ο πατηρ καγω εν αυτω.

39Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.

εζητουν ουν παλιν πιασαι αυτον· και εξηλθεν εκ της χειρος αυτων.

40And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.

και απηλθεν παλιν περαν του ιορδανου, εις τον τοπον οπου ην ιωαννης το πρωτον βαπτιζων, και εμεινεν εκει.

41Then many came to Him and said, 'John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.'

και πολλοι ηλθον προς αυτον και ελεγον οτι ιωαννης μεν σημειον εποιησεν ουδεν, παντα δε οσα ειπεν ιωαννης περι τουτου, αληθη ην.

42And many believed in Him there.

και επιστευσαν πολλοι εκει εις αυτον.
