(APB)
John
10
:
1
"Timeless truth I speak with you: whoever enters not by the gate to the sheepfold, but comes up from another place, is a thief and a robber.”
(APB)
John
10
:
2
"He who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the flock;”
(APB)
John
10
:
3
"To this one the gate keeper opens the gate and the flock hears his voice; he calls his sheep by their names and leads them out.
(APB)
John
10
:
4
And when he has brought forth his flock, he goes before it and his own sheep go after him, because they know his voice.
(APB)
John
10
:
5
But the flock goes not after a stranger, but flees from him, for it does not know a stranger's voice.”
(APB)
John
10
:
6
Yeshua spoke this allegory to them, but they did not know what he was speaking with them.
(APB)
John
10
:
7
But again Yeshua said to them, "Timeless truth I speak to you; I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Gate of the flock.”
(APB)
John
10
:
8
"And all who had come were thieves and robbers, but the flock did not hear them.”
(APB)
John
10
:
9
"I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Gate; if anyone will enter by me, he shall live and shall go in and out and shall find the pasture.”
(APB)
John
10
:
10
"But a thief does not come except to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have whatever is abundant.”
(APB)
John
10
:
11
"I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for his flock.”
(APB)
John
10
:
12
"But a hired man who is not a shepherd, whenever he may see a wolf coming, leaves the flock and runs.”
(APB)
John
10
:
13
"But a hired man runs because he is a hired man, and cares not about the flock, and a wolf comes snatching at and scattering the flock.”
(APB)
John
10
:
14
"I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Good Shepherd. I know mine and am known by mine.”
(APB)
John
10
:
15
"Just as my Father knows me and I know my Father, and I lay down my life for the flock's sake.”
(APB)
John
10
:
16
"But I have other sheep which were not from this fold; I must also bring them. They also will hear my voice, and the entire fold shall be one, and One Shepherd.”
(APB)
John
10
:
17
"Because of this my Father delights in me, because I am laying down my life that I may receive it again.”
(APB)
John
10
:
18
"No man takes it from me; I am laying it down of my own will, for I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it again; this commandment I have received from my Father.”
(APB)
John
10
:
19
And again there was a division among the Judeans because of these words.
(APB)
John
10
:
20
And many among them were saying, "There is a demon in him and he is raving mad, why are you listening to him?”
(APB)
John
10
:
21
But the others were saying, "These are not the words of one who is possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
(APB)
John
10
:
22
But it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem and it was winter.
(APB)
John
10
:
23
And Yeshua was walking in The Temple on the porch of Solomon.
(APB)
John
10
:
24
And the Judeans surrounded him and were saying, "How long will you keep our souls in suspense? If you are The Messiah, tell us plainly.”
(APB)
John
10
:
25
Yeshua answered and said to them, "I have told you, and you do not believe, and the works that I do in the Name of my Father, they testify of Me.”
(APB)
John
10
:
26
"But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, just as I said to you.”
(APB)
John
10
:
27
"My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow Me.”
(APB)
John
10
:
28
"And I am giving them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them from my hand.”
(APB)
John
10
:
29
"My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch anything from my Father's hand.”
(APB)
John
10
:
31
And the Judeans picked up stones again to stone him.
(APB)
John
10
:
32
And Yeshua said to them, "Many excellent works from the presence of my Father I have shown you. For which of those works are you stoning me?”
(APB)
John
10
:
33
The Judeans were saying to him, "It is not for excellent works that we are stoning you, but because you blaspheme, and as you are a man, you make yourself God.”
(APB)
John
10
:
34
Yeshua said to them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I have said, "You are gods”'?”
(APB)
John
10
:
35
"If he called those men gods because The Word of God was with them and the scripture cannot be destroyed”,
(APB)
John
10
:
36
"Are you saying to The One whom The Father sanctified and sent into the world, "You blaspheme”, because I said to you, 'I am The Son of God?”
(APB)
John
10
:
37
"If I am not doing the works of my Father, you should not believe me”,
(APB)
John
10
:
38
"But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe those deeds, so that you may know and that you may believe that my Father is in me and I in my Father.”
(APB)
John
10
:
39
And they again sought to seize him, and he escaped from their hands.
(APB)
John
10
:
40
And he went on to the crossing of The Jordan, to the place where Yohannan had been before when he was baptizing, and there he stayed.
(APB)
John
10
:
41
And many people came to him and were saying, "Yohannan did not even one miracle, but everything that Yohannan had said about This Man is true.”
