羊圈的比喻

10 “我实实在在地告诉你们,那不从门进羊圈,倒从别处爬进去的,就是贼,就是强盗。 那从门进去的才是羊的牧人。 看门的给他开门,羊也听他的声音。他按着名叫自己的羊,把羊领出来。 当他把自己的羊都放出来,就走在前面,羊也跟着他,因为它们认得他的声音。 羊绝不跟陌生人,反而会逃走,因为不认得陌生人的声音。” 耶稣把这比方告诉他们,但他们不明白他所说的是什么。

耶稣是好牧人

所以,耶稣又对他们说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,我就是羊的门。 凡在我以前[a]来的都是贼,是强盗;羊没有听从他们。 我就是门,凡从我进来的,必得安全[b],并且可进出,找到草吃。 10 盗贼来,无非要偷窃、杀害、毁坏;我来了,是要羊得生命,并且得的更丰盛。

11 “我是好牧人,好牧人为羊舍命。 12 雇工不是牧人,羊不是他自己的,他一看见狼来,就撇下羊群逃跑;狼抓住羊,把它们赶散。 13 雇工逃走,因为他是雇工,对羊毫不关心。 14 我是好牧人;我认识我的羊,我的羊也认识我, 15 正如父认识我,我也认识父一样;并且我为羊舍命。 16 我另外有羊,不属这圈里的,我必须领它们来,它们也要听我的声音,并且要合成一群,归一个牧人。 17 为此,我父爱我,因为我把命舍去,好再取回来。 18 没有人夺去我的命,是我自己舍的;我有权舍弃,也有权再取回。这是我从我父所受的命令。”

19 犹太人为这些话又起了分裂。 20 其中有好些人说:“他是被鬼附了,而且疯了,为什么听他的呢?” 21 另有的说:“这不是被鬼附的人所说的话。鬼岂能开盲人的眼睛呢?”

犹太人弃绝耶稣

22 那时正是冬天,在耶路撒冷有献殿节。 23 耶稣在圣殿里的所罗门廊下行走。 24 犹太人围着他,对他说:“你让我们犹豫不定到几时呢?你若是基督,就明白地告诉我们。” 25 耶稣回答他们:“我已经告诉你们,你们却不信。我奉我父的名所行的事可以为我作见证。 26 但是你们不信,因为你们不是我的羊。 27 我的羊听我的声音,我认识它们,它们也跟从我。 28 并且,我赐给他们永生;他们永不灭亡,谁也不能从我手里把他们夺去。 29 我父所赐给我的比万有都大[c],谁也不能从我父手里把他们夺去。 30 我与父原为一。”

31 犹太人又拿起石头来要打他。 32 耶稣回应他们:“我做了许多从父那里来的善事给你们看,你们是为哪一件拿石头打我呢?” 33 犹太人回答他:“我们不是为了善事拿石头打你,而是为了你说亵渎的话;因为你是个人,却把自己当作 神。” 34 耶稣回答他们:“你们的律法书上不是写着‘我曾说你们是诸神’吗? 35 经上的话是不能废的;如果那些领受 神的道的人, 神尚且称他们为诸神, 36 那么父所分别为圣又差到世上来的那位说‘我是 神的儿子’,你们还对他说‘你说亵渎的话’吗? 37 我若不做我父的工作,你们就不必信我; 38 我若做了,你们即使不信我,也当信这些工作,好让你们知道并且明白父在我里面,我也在父里面。” 39 于是,他们又要捉拿他,他却从他们手中逃脱了。

40 耶稣又往约旦河的东边去,到了约翰起初施洗的地方,就住在那里。 41 有许多人来到他那里,说:“约翰没有行过一件神迹,但约翰所说有关这人的一切话都是真的。” 42 在那里,许多人信了耶稣。

好牧人

10 耶稣说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,不从门进羊圈而从别处爬进去的人就是贼,是强盗。 从门进去的才是羊的牧人, 看门的会给他开门,羊也听他的声音。他按名字叫自己的羊,把它们领出来。 领出来之后,自己便走在前面,羊群也跟着他,因为羊认得他的声音。 羊从不跟随陌生人,见了陌生人就逃跑,因为它们不认得陌生人的声音。”

耶稣讲了这个比喻,但听的人都不明白祂的意思。 于是祂又说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,我就是羊的门。 在我以前来的,都是贼,是强盗,羊不听从他们。 我就是门,从我进来的必定得救,并且会安然出入,找到草吃。 10 盗贼来,无非是要偷窃、杀害、毁坏。但我来是要羊得生命,并且得到丰盛的生命。

11 “我是好牧人,好牧人为羊舍命。 12 如果是雇工,不是牧人,羊也不是他的,狼一来,他必撇下羊逃命。狼就会抓住羊,把羊群驱散。 13 他逃走,因为他是雇工,并不在乎羊。 14 我是好牧人,我认识我的羊,我的羊也认识我, 15 正如父认识我,我也认识父,并且我为羊舍命。 16 我还有别的羊不在这羊圈里,我必须领他们回来,他们也必听我的声音。这样,我所有的羊将要合成一群,由一个牧人来带领。 17 父爱我,因为我舍弃自己的生命,为了再得回生命。 18 没有人能夺走我的生命,我是甘心舍弃的。我有权舍弃,也有权得回,这是我从父那里得到的命令。”

19 犹太人因这番话又起了纷争。 20 他们当中好些人说:“祂被鬼附身了!祂疯了!何必听祂的?”

21 又有些人说:“被鬼附身的人不会说这种话的,鬼能医好瞎眼的人吗?”

被犹太人弃绝

22 耶路撒冷庆祝修殿节的时候到了,是在冬天。 23 当耶稣走过圣殿的所罗门廊时, 24 一群犹太人围着祂说:“你让我们困惑、猜疑要到什么时候呢?如果你是基督,就清楚地告诉我们吧!”

25 耶稣回答说:“我已经告诉你们了,你们却不信。我奉我父的名所行的神迹也为我做见证, 26 只是你们不肯相信,因为你们不是我的羊。 27 我的羊听我的声音,我也认识他们,他们也跟随我。 28 我要赐他们永生,他们永不灭亡。没有人能从我的手里把他们抢走。 29 我父把羊赐给我,祂比万物都大,没有人能从祂手中把羊抢走。 30 我和父本为一。”

31 于是犹太人又拿起石头要打祂。 32 耶稣就问他们:“我将许多从父而来的美善之事显给你们看,你们为了哪一件事拿石头打我呢?”

33 犹太人回答说:“我们不是因为你做的善事打你,而是因为你说了亵渎的话,你是人,却把自己当作上帝。”

34 耶稣说:“你们的律法书上不是写着‘我曾说你们都是神’吗? 35 圣经上的话是不能废的,既然上帝称那些承受祂道的人为神, 36 那么我是父分别出来又差到世上来的,我说自己是上帝的儿子,难道是亵渎吗? 37 如果我不做我父的事,你们不必信我。 38 但如果我做了,你们纵然不信我,也应该相信我所做的事,这样你们就会知道、领悟父在我里面,我也在父里面。”

39 他们又要抓耶稣,但祂从他们手中逃脱了。

40 后来,耶稣到了约旦河东岸约翰从前施洗的地方,在那里住下来。 41 许多人来到祂那里。他们说:“虽然约翰没有行过神迹,可是约翰所说关于这人的事全是真的。” 42 在那里许多人信了耶稣。

10 “Anyone refusing to walk through the gate into a sheepfold, who sneaks over the wall, must surely be a thief! For a shepherd comes through the gate. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice and come to him; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. He walks ahead of them; and they follow him, for they recognize his voice. They won’t follow a stranger but will run from him, for they don’t recognize his voice.”

Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant, so he explained it to them.

“I am the Gate for the sheep,” he said. “All others who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. Yes, I am the Gate. Those who come in by way of the Gate will be saved and will go in and out and find green pastures. 10 The thief’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.

11 “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 A hired man will run when he sees a wolf coming and will leave the sheep, for they aren’t his and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf leaps on them and scatters the flock. 13 The hired man runs because he is hired and has no real concern for the sheep.

14 “I am the Good Shepherd and know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, too, in another fold. I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice; and there will be one flock with one Shepherd.

17 “The Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may have it back again. 18 No one can kill me without my consent—I lay down my life voluntarily. For I have the right and power to lay it down when I want to and also the right and power to take it again. For the Father has given me this right.”

19 When he said these things, the Jewish leaders were again divided in their opinions about him. 20 Some of them said, “He has a demon or else is crazy. Why listen to a man like that?”

21 Others said, “This doesn’t sound to us like a man possessed by a demon! Can a demon open the eyes of blind men?”

22-23 It was winter,[a] and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of the Dedication Celebration. He was at the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon’s Hall. 24 The Jewish leaders surrounded him and asked, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

25 “I have already told you,[b] and you don’t believe me,” Jesus replied. “The proof is in the miracles I do in the name of my Father. 26 But you don’t believe me because you are not part of my flock. 27 My sheep recognize my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life and they shall never perish. No one shall snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else, so no one can kidnap them from me. 30 I and the Father are one.”

31 Then again the Jewish leaders picked up stones to kill him.

32 Jesus said, “At God’s direction I have done many a miracle to help the people. For which one are you killing me?”

33 They replied, “Not for any good work, but for blasphemy; you, a mere man, have declared yourself to be God.”

34-36 “In your own Law it says that men are gods!” he replied. “So if the Scripture, which cannot be untrue, speaks of those as gods to whom the message of God came, do you call it blasphemy when the one sanctified and sent into the world by the Father says, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 Don’t believe me unless I do miracles of God. 38 But if I do, believe them even if you don’t believe me. Then you will become convinced that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

39 Once again they started to arrest him. But he walked away and left them, 40 and went beyond the Jordan River to stay near the place where John was first baptizing. 41 And many followed him.

“John didn’t do miracles,” they remarked to one another, “but all his predictions concerning this man have come true.” 42 And many came to the decision that he was the Messiah.[c]
