| 1 "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber. | 1 Amen, amen dico vobis : qui non intrat per ostium in ovile ovium, sed ascendit aliunde, ille fur est et latro. |
| 2 But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. | 2 Qui autem intrat per ostium, pastor est ovium. |
| 3 The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. | 3 Huic ostiarius aperit, et oves vocem ejus audiunt, et proprias oves vocat nominatim, et educit eas. |
| 4 When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. | 4 Et cum proprias oves emiserit, ante eas vadit : et oves illum sequuntur, quia sciunt vocem ejus. |
| 5 But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers." | 5 Alienum autem non sequuntur, sed fugiunt ab eo : quia non noverunt vocem alienorum. |
| 6 Although Jesus used this figure of speech, they did not realize what he was trying to tell them. | 6 Hoc proverbium dixit eis Jesus : illi autem non cognoverunt quid loqueretur eis. |
| 7 So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. | 7 Dixit ergo eis iterum Jesus : Amen, amen dico vobis, quia ego sum ostium ovium. |
| 8 All who came [before me] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. | 8 Omnes quotquot venerunt, fures sunt, et latrones, et non audierunt eos oves. |
| 9 I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. | 9 Ego sum ostium. Per me si quis introierit, salvabitur : et ingredietur, et egredietur, et pascua inveniet. |
| 10 A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly. | 10 Fur non venit nisi ut furetur, et mactet, et perdat. Ego veni ut vitam habeant, et abundantius habeant. |
| 11 I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. | 11 Ego sum pastor bonus. Bonus pastor animam suam dat pro ovibus suis. |
| 12 A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. | 12 Mercenarius autem, et qui non est pastor, cujus non sunt oves propriæ, videt lupum venientem, et dimittit oves, et fugit : et lupus rapit, et dispergit oves ; |
| 13 This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. | 13 mercenarius autem fugit, quia mercenarius est, et non pertinet ad eum de ovibus. |
| 14 I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, | 14 Ego sum pastor bonus : et cognosco meas, et cognoscunt me meæ. |
| 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. | 15 Sicut novit me Pater, et ego agnosco Patrem : et animam meam pono pro ovibus meis. |
| 16 I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. | 16 Et alias oves habeo, quæ non sunt ex hoc ovili : et illas oportet me adducere, et vocem meam audient, et fiet unum ovile et unus pastor. |
| 17 This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. | 17 Propterea me diligit Pater : quia ego pono animam meam, ut iterum sumam eam. |
| 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father." | 18 Nemo tollit eam a me : sed ego pono eam a meipso, et potestatem habeo ponendi eam, et potestatem habeo iterum sumendi eam. Hoc mandatum accepi a Patre meo.
|
| 19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words. | 19 Dissensio iterum facta est inter Judæos propter sermones hos. |
| 20 Many of them said, "He is possessed and out of his mind; why listen to him?" | 20 Dicebant autem multi ex ipsis : Dæmonium habet, et insanit : quid eum auditis ? |
| 21 Others said, "These are not the words of one possessed; surely a demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?" | 21 Alii dicebant : Hæc verba non sunt dæmonium habentis : numquid dæmonium potest cæcorum oculos aperire ?
|
| 22 The feast of the Dedication was then taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter. | 22 Facta sunt autem Encænia in Jerosolymis, et hiems erat. |
| 23 And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon. | 23 Et ambulabat Jesus in templo, in porticu Salomonis. |
| 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." | 24 Circumdederunt ergo eum Judæi, et dicebant ei : Quousque animam nostram tollis ? si tu es Christus, dic nobis palam. |
| 25 Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify to me. | 25 Respondit eis Jesus : Loquor vobis, et non creditis : opera quæ ego facio in nomine Patris mei, hæc testimonium perhibent de me : |
| 26 But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep. | 26 sed vos non creditis, quia non estis ex ovibus meis. |
| 27 My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. | 27 Oves meæ vocem meam audiunt, et ego cognosco eas, et sequuntur me : |
| 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. | 28 et ego vitam æternam do eis, et non peribunt in æternum, et non rapiet eas quisquam de manu mea. |
| 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand. | 29 Pater meus quod dedit mihi, majus omnibus est : et nemo potest rapere de manu Patris mei. |
| 30 The Father and I are one." | 30 Ego et Pater unum sumus.
|
| 31 The Jews again picked up rocks to stone him. | 31 Sustulerunt ergo lapides Judæi, ut lapidarent eum. |
| 32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?" | 32 Respondit eis Jesus : Multa bona opera ostendi vobis ex Patre meo : propter quod eorum opus me lapidatis ? |
| 33 The Jews answered him, "We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God." | 33 Responderunt ei Judæi : De bono opere non lapidamus te, sed de blasphemia ; et quia tu homo cum sis, facis teipsum Deum. |
| 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'? | 34 Respondit eis Jesus : Nonne scriptum est in lege vestra, Quia ego dixi : Dii estis ? |
| 35 If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside, | 35 Si illos dixit deos, ad quos sermo Dei factus est, et non potest solvi Scriptura : |
| 36 can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? | 36 quem Pater sanctificavit, et misit in mundum vos dicitis : Quia blasphemas, quia dixi : Filius Dei sum ? |
| 37 If I do not perform my Father's works, do not believe me; | 37 Si non facio opera Patris mei, nolite credere mihi. |
| 38 but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize (and understand) that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." | 38 Si autem facio : etsi mihi non vultis credere, operibus credite, ut cognoscatis, et credatis quia Pater in me est, et ego in Patre. |
| 39 (Then) they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power. | 39 Quærebant ergo eum apprehendere : et exivit de manibus eorum. |
| 40 He went back across the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained. | 40 Et abiit iterum trans Jordanem, in eum locum ubi erat Joannes baptizans primum, et mansit illic ; |
| 41 Many came to him and said, "John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true." | 41 et multi venerunt ad eum, et dicebant : Quia Joannes quidem signum fecit nullum. |
| 42 And many there began to believe in him. | 42 Omnia autem quæcumque dixit Joannes de hoc, vera erant. Et multi crediderunt in eum. |
