John 10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber;	1 ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܥܐܠ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܠܛܝܪܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܤܠܩ ܡܢ ܕܘܟܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܐ ܗܘ ܓܢܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܓܝܤܐ ܀
2 but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.	2 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܐܠ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܢܐ ܀
3 To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.	3 ܘܠܗܢܐ ܢܛܪ ܬܪܥܐ ܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܐ ܩܠܗ ܘܥܪܒܘܗܝ ܩܪܐ ܒܫܡܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܦܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.	4 ܘܡܐ ܕܐܦܩ ܥܢܗ ܩܕܡܝܗ ܐܙܠ ܘܥܪܒܘܗܝ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܩܠܗ ܀
5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."	5 ܒܬܪ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܥܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܪܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܐ ܩܠܗ ܕܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܀
6 This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.	6 ܗܕܐ ܦܠܐܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܡܢܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܀
7 So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.	7 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܪܥܗ ܕܥܢܐ ܀
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them.	8 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܓܢܒܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܓܝܤܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܢܐ ܀
9 I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.	9 ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܒܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܥܘܠ ܢܚܐ ܘܢܥܘܠ ܘܢܦܘܩ ܘܪܥܝܐ ܢܫܟܚ ܀
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.	10 ܓܢܒܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܓܢܘܒ ܘܕܢܩܛܘܠ ܘܕܢܘܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܚܝܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.	11 ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܛܒܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܛܒܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܤܐܡ ܚܠܦ ܥܢܗ ܀
12 He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.	12 ܐܓܝܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܘܠܘ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܪܒܐ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܕܐܒܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܫܒܩ ܥܢܐ ܘܥܪܩ ܘܐܬܐ ܕܐܒܐ ܚܛܦ ܘܡܒܕܪ ܠܗ ܠܥܢܐ ܀
13 He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.	13 ܐܓܝܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܪܩ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܓܝܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܥܢܐ ܀
14 I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me,	14 ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܕܝܠܝ ܘܡܬܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܝ ܀
15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.	15 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܒܝ ܘܢܦܫܝ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܥܢܐ ܀
16 And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.	16 ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܥܪܒܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܛܝܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܝܬܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܝ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܥܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܚܕܐ ܘܚܕ ܪܥܝܐ ܀
17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.	17 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܒܝ ܪܚܡ ܠܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܕܬܘܒ ܐܤܒܝܗ ܀
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father."	18 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܫ ܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܡܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܫܠܝܛ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܤܝܡܝܗ ܘܫܠܝܛ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܘܒ ܐܤܒܝܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܒܠܬ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܀
19 There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.	19 ܘܗܘܬ ܬܘܒ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܀
20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and he is mad; why listen to him?"	20 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܕܝܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܡܫܢܐ ܫܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܀
21 Others said, "These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"	21 ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝ ܕܕܝܘܢܐ ܠܡܐ ܕܝܘܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܥܝܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܠܡܦܬܚܘ ܀
22 It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem;	22 ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܐܕܐ ܕܚܘܕܬܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܤܬܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܀
23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.	23 ܘܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܒܐܤܛܘܐ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܀
24 So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."	24 ܘܚܕܪܘܗܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬ ܢܦܫܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܀
25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;	25 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܀
26 but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep.	26 ܐܠܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܪܒܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܀
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;	27 ܥܪܒܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܩܠܝ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܬܝܢ ܒܬܪܝ ܀
28 and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.	28 ܘܐܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܐ ܢܐܒܕܘܢ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܚܛܘܦ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܝ ܀
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.	29 ܐܒܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܢܚܛܘܦ ܀
30 I and the Father are one."	30 ܐܢܐ ܘܐܒܝ ܚܕ ܚܢܢ ܀
31 The Jews took up stones again to stone him.	31 ܘܫܩܠܘ ܬܘܒ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܡܪܓܡܗ ܀
32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?"	32 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܚܘܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܐܝܢܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܪܓܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܀
33 The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God."	33 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܪܓܡܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܟ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܓܕܦ ܐܢܬ ܘܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܟ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܢܦܫܟ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?	34 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܒܢܡܘܤܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),	35 ܐܢ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܘܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܢܫܬܪܐ ܀
36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?	36 ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܒܐ ܩܕܫܗ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܓܕܦ ܐܢܬ ܥܠ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;	37 ܐܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܒܝ ܠܐ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢܢܝ ܀
38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."	38 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܦܢ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܘܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܕܐܒܝ ܒܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܐܒܝ ܀
39 Again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.	39 ܘܒܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܬܘܒ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܀
40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there he remained.	40 ܘܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܟܕ ܡܥܡܕ ܗܘܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܀
41 And many came to him; and they said, "John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true."	41 ܘܐܬܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܡܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܫܪܝܪ ܗܘ ܀
42 And many believed in him there.	42 ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܀
