1 אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָבוֹא דֶּרֶךְ הַשַּׁעַר אֶל־מִכְלָא הַצֹּאן כִּי אִם־יַעֲלֶה בְּדֶרֶךְ אַחֵר גַּנָּב וּפָרִיץ הוּא	1 “Amen, amen, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up by another way, he is a thief and a robber.
2 וַאֲשֶׁר יָבוֹא דֶּרֶךְ הַשַּׁעַר הוּא רֹעֵה הַצֹּאן	2 But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 לוֹ יִפְתַּח שֹׁמֵר הַסַּף וְהַצֹּאן אֶת־קֹלוֹ תִשְׁמַעְנָה וְהוּא לְצֹאנוֹ בְּשֵׁם יִקְרָא וְיוֹצִיאֵם	3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
4 וְאַחֲרֵי הוֹצִיאוֹ אֶת־צֹאנוֹ הוּא יַעֲבֹר לִפְנֵיהֶן וְהַצֹּאן הֹלְכוֹת אַחֲרָיו כִּי יָדְעוּ אֶת־קוֹלוֹ	4 And when he has sent out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 וְאַחֲרֵי זָר לֹא תֵלַכְנָה כִּי אִם־יָנוּסוּ מִפָּנָיו כִּי אֶת־קוֹל הַזָּרִים לֹא יָדָעוּ	5 But they do not follow a stranger; instead they flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה דִּבֶּר יֵשׁוּעַ בְּאָזְנֵיהֶם וְהֵמָּה לֹא יָדְעוּ מַה־זֹּאת אֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם	6 Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 וַיּוֹסֶף יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם אֲנִי הוּא דֶּלֶת הַצֹּאן	7 Therefore, Jesus spoke to them again: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.
8 כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בָּאוּ לְפָנַי גַּנָּבִים הֵמָּה וּפָרִיצִים וְהַצֹּאן לֹא־שָׁמְעוּ לְקוֹלָם	8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to them.
9 אָנֹכִי הַדָּלֶת אִישׁ כִּי־יָבוֹא בִי יִוָּשֵׁעַ וּבְצֵאתוֹ וּבְבוֹאוֹ יִמְצָא מִרְעֶה	9 I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.
10 הַגַּנָּב לֹא יָבוֹא כִּי אִם־לִגְנוֹב וְלַהֲרוֹג וּלְאַבֵּד וַאֲנִי בָאתִי לְבַעֲבוּר הָבִיא לָהֶם חַיִּים וּמְלֹא סִפְקָם	10 The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.
11 אָנֹכִי הוּא הָרֹעֶה הַטּוֹב הָרֹעֶה הַטּוֹב יִתֵּן אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ בְּעַד צֹאנוֹ	11 I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for his sheep.
12 וְהַשָּׂכִיר אֲשֶׁר לֹא רֹעֶה הוּא וְהַצֹּאן לֹא־לוֹ הֵנָּה בִּרְאוֹתוֹ כִּי־בָא הַזְּאֵב יַעֲזֹב אֶת־הַצֹּאן וָנָס וְהַזְּאֵב יַחֲטֹף וְיָפִיץ אֶת־הַצֹּאן	12 But the hired hand, and whoever is not a shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, he sees the wolf approaching, and he departs from the sheep and flees. And the wolf ravages and scatters the sheep.
13 הַשָּׂכִיר יָנוּס כִּי שָׂכִיר הוּא וְלֹא יִדְאַג לַצֹּאן	13 And the hired hand flees, because he is a hired hand and there is no concern for the sheep within him.
14 אֲנִי הָרֹעֶה הַטּוֹב וְיָדַעְתִּי אֵת אֲשֶׁר־לִי וְנוֹדַעְתִּי לַאֲשֶׁר לִי	14 I am the good Shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
15 כַּאֲשֶׁר הָאָב יְדָעַנִי וַאֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי אֶת־הָאָב וְאֶת־נַפְשִׁי אֶתֵּן בְּעַד הַצֹּאן	15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep.
16 וְצֹאן אֲחֵרוֹת יֶשׁ־לִי אֲשֶׁר אֵינָן מִן־הַמִּכְלָה הַזֹּאת וְעָלַי לְנַהֵל גַּם־אֹתָן וְתִשְׁמַעְנָה קוֹלִי וְהָיָה עֵדֶר אֶחָד וְרֹעֶה אֶחָד	16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.
17 עַל־כֵּן אֹהֵב אֹתִי אָבִי כִּי אֶת־נַפְשִׁי אֶתֵּן לְמַעַן אָשׁוּב וְאֶקָּחֶהָ	17 For this reason, the Father loves me: because I lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.
18 וְאִישׁ לֹא יִקָּחֶנָּה מֵאִתִּי כִּי אִם־אֲנִי מֵעַצְמִי אֶתְּנֶנָּה יֶשׁ־בְּיָדִי לָתֵת אֹתָהּ וּבְיָדִי לָשׁוּב לְקַחְתָּהּ אֶת־הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת לָקַחְתִּי מֵעִם אָבִי	18 No one takes it away from me. Instead, I lay it down of my own accord. And I have the power to lay it down. And I have the power to take it up again. This is the commandment that I have received from my Father.”
19 וַתְּהִי מַחֲלֹקֶת גַּם־בַּפַּעַם הַזֹּאת בֵּין הַיְּהוּדִים עַל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה	19 A dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words.
20 וַיֹּאמְרוּ רַבִּים מֵהֶם שֵׁד בּוֹ וּמְשֻׁגָּע הוּא לָמָּה תִשְׁמְעוּ אֵלָיו	20 Then many of them were saying: “He has a demon or he is insane. Why do you listen him?”
21 וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ לֹא כָאֵלֶּה יְדַבֵּר אִישׁ אֲחוּז־שֵׁד הֲיוּכַל שֵׁד לִפְקֹחַ עֵינֵי עִוְרִים	21 Others were saying: “These are not the words of someone who has a demon. How would a demon be able to open the eyes of the blind?”
22 וַיְהִי חַג חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם וּסְתָיו הָיָה	22 Now it was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ יֵשׁוּעַ בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ בְּאוּלָם שֶׁל־שְׁלֹמֹה	23 And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.
24 וַיָּסֹבּוּ אֹתוֹ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו עַד־אָנָה תַּתְלֶה אֶת־נַפְשֵׁנוּ אִם־הַמָּשִׁיחַ אַתָּה הַגִּידָה לָּנוּ בָּרוּר	24 And so the Jews surrounded him and said to him: “How long will you hold our souls in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ הֵן אָמַרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם וְלֹא הֶאֱמַנְתֶּם בִּי הַמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה בְּשֵׁם אָבִי הֵם יָעִידוּ עָלָי	25 Jesus answered them: “I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about me.
26 אֲבָל אַתֶּם לֹא תַאֲמִינוּ יַעַן לֹא מִצֹּאנִי אַתֶּם כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתִּי לָכֶם	26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
27 צֹאנִי תִּשְׁמַעְנָה אֶת־קוֹלִי וַאֲנִי יְדַעְתִּין וְאַחֲרַי תֵּלַכְנָה	27 My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
28 וַאֲנִי אֶתֵּן לָהֶן חַיֵּי עוֹלָמִים וְלֹא תֹאבַדְנָה לָנֶצַח וְאִישׁ לֹא־יַחֲטֹף אֶתְהֶן מִיָּדִי	28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
29 הָאָב אֲשֶׁר נְתָנָן לִי גָּדוֹל הוּא עַל־כֹּל וְאִישׁ לֹא־יַחֲטֹף אֶתְהֶן מִיַּד הָאָב	29 What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
30 אֲנִי וְאָבִי אֶחָד אֲנָחְנוּ	30 I and the Father are one.”
31 אָז יָרִימוּ הַיְּהוּדִים כְּפַעַם־בְּפַעַם אֲבָנִים לְסָקְלוֹ	31 Therefore, the Jews took up stones, in order to stone him.
32 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ מַעֲשִׂים טוֹבִים רַבִּים הֶרְאֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֵת אָבִי עַל־אֵיזֶה מִן־הַמַּעֲשִׂים הָהֵם תִּסְקְלֻנִי	32 Jesus answered them: “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 וַיַּעֲנוּ הַיְּהוּדִים אֹתוֹ לֵאמֹר עַל־מַעֲשֶׂה טוֹב לֹא נִסְקֹל אֹתָךְ כִּי אִם־עַל־גַּדֶּפְךָ אֶת־אֱלֹהִים וְעַל־כִּי אָדָם אַתָּה וַתַּעַשׂ אֶת־עַצְמְךָ לֵאלֹהִים	33 The Jews answered him: “We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy and because, though you are a man, you make yourself God.”
34 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ הֲלֹא כָתוּב בְּתוֹרַתְכֶם אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם	34 Jesus responded to them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said: you are gods?’
35 הֵן קָרָא שֵׁם אֱלֹהִים לָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר הָיָה דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים אֲלֵיהֶם וְהַכָּתוּב לֹא־יוּפָר	35 If he called those to whom the word of God was given gods, and Scripture cannot be broken,
36 וְאֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ עַל־אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשׁוֹ הָאָב וּשְׁלָחוֹ לָעוֹלָם מְגַדֵּף אָתָּה יַעַן אָמַרְתִּי בֶּן־אֱלֹהִים אָנִי	36 why do you say, about him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You have blasphemed,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’
37 אִם־לֹא אֶעֱשֶׂה אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂי אָבִי אַל־תַּאֲמִינוּ לִי	37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe in me.
38 וְאִם־עָשִׂיתִי וְלֹא־תַאֲמִינוּ לִי הַאֲמִינוּ־נָא לְמַעֲשָׂי לְמַעַן תֵּדְעוּ וְתַאֲמִינוּ כִּי־בִי הָאָב וַאֲנִי בוֹ	38 But if I do them, even if you are not willing to believe in me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”
39 אָז יָשׁוּבוּ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ לְתָפְשׂוֹ וַיִּמָּלֵט מִיָּדָם	39 Therefore, they sought to apprehend him, but he escaped from their hands.
40 וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיָּשָׁב אֶל־עֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר הִטְבִּיל־שָׁם יוֹחָנָן בַּתְּחִלָּה וַיֵּשֶׁב שָׁם	40 And he went again across the Jordan, to that place where John first was baptizing. And he lodged there.
41 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו רַבִּים וַיֹּאמְרוּ הִנֵּה יוֹחָנָן לֹא־עָשָׂה אוֹת אֲבָל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יוֹחָנָן עַל־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אֱמֶת הָיָה	41 And many went out to him. And they were saying: “Indeed, John accomplished no signs.
42 וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בוֹ רַבִּים בַּמָּקוֹם הַהוּא	42 But all things whatsoever that John said about this man were true.” And many believed in him.
