WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
1 DE cierto, de cierto os digo: El que no entra por la puerta en el corral de las ovejas, mas sube por otra parte, el tal es ladrón y robador.
1 “Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
2 Mas el que entra por la puerta, el pastor de las ovejas es.
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
3 A éste abre el portero, y las ovejas oyen su voz: y á sus ovejas llama por nombre, y las saca.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
4 Y como ha sacado fuera todas las propias, va delante de ellas; y las ovejas le siguen, porque conocen su voz.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
5 Mas al extraño no seguirán, antes huirán de él: porque no conocen la voz de los extraños.
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
6 Esta parábola les dijo Jesús; mas ellos no entendieron qué era lo que les decía.
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
7 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
7 Volvióles, pues, Jesús á decir: De cierto, de cierto os digo: Yo soy la puerta de las ovejas.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep’s door.
8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
8 Todos los que antes de mí vinieron, ladrones son y robadores; mas no los oyeron las ovejas.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
9 Yo soy la puerta: el que por mí entrare, será salvo; y entrará, y saldrá, y hallará pastos.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
10 El ladrón no viene sino para hurtar, y matar, y destruir: yo he venido para que tengan vida, y para que [la] tengan en abundancia.
10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
11 Yo soy el buen pastor: el buen pastor su vida da por las ovejas.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]:
12 Mas el asalariado, y que no es el pastor, de quien no son propias las ovejas, ve al lobo que viene, y deja las ovejas, y huye, y el lobo las arrebata, y esparce las ovejas.
12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
13 Así que, el asalariado, huye, porque es asalariado, y no tiene cuidado de las ovejas.
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
14 Yo soy el buen pastor; y conozco mis [ovejas], y las mías me conocen.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
15 Como el Padre me conoce, y yo conozco al Padre; y pongo mi vida por las ovejas.
15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
16 También tengo otras ovejas que no son de este redil; aquéllas también me conviene traer, y oirán mi voz; y habrá un rebaño, y un pastor.
16 I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
17 Por eso me ama el Padre, porque yo pongo mi vida, para volverla á tomar.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18 No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
18 Nadie me la quita, mas yo la pongo de mí mismo. Tengo poder para ponerla, y tengo poder para volverla á tomar. Este mandamiento recibí de mi Padre.
18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”

20 And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?
20 Y muchos de ellos decían: Demonio tiene, y está fuera de sí; ¿para qué le oís?
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
21 Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
21 Decían otros: Estas palabras no son de endemoniado: ¿puede el demonio abrir los ojos de los ciegos?
21 Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”

24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.
25 Respondióles Jesús: Os [lo] he dicho, y no creéis: las obras que yo hago en nombre de mi Padre, ellas dan testimonio de mí;
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
26 Mas vosotros no creéis, porque no sois de mis ovejas, como os he dicho.
26 But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
27 Mis ovejas oyen mi voz, y yo las conozco, y me siguen;
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
28 Y yo les doy vida eterna: y no perecerán para siempre, ni nadie las arrebatará de mi mano.
28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand.
29 Mi Padre que me [las] dió, mayor que todos es: y nadie [las] puede arrebatar de la mano de mi Padre.
29 My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

31 Entonces volvieron á tomar piedras los Judíos para apedrearle.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
32 Respondióles Jesús: Muchas buenas obras os he mostrado de mi Padre; ¿por cuál obra de esas me apedreáis?
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
33 The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
33 Respondiéronle los Judíos, diciendo: Por buena obra no te apedreamos, sino por la blasfemia; y porque tú, siendo hombre, te haces Dios.
33 The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
34 Respondióles Jesús: ¿No está escrito en vuestra ley: Yo dije, Dioses sois?
34 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
35 Si dijo, dioses, á aquellos á los cuales fué hecha palabra de Dios (y la Escritura no puede ser quebrantada);
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
36 say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am [the] Son of God?
36 ¿A quien el Padre santificó y envió al mundo, vosotros decís: Tú blasfemas, porque dije: Hijo de Dios soy?
36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
37 Si no hago obras de mi Padre, no me creáis.
37 If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
38 But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
38 Mas si las hago, aunque á mí no creáis, creed á las obras; para que conozcáis y creáis que el Padre está en mí, y yo en el Padre.
38 But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
We have heard the Lord Jesus setting forth to us the office of a good shepherd. And herein He hath doubtless given us to know, as we may understand it, that there are good shepherds.

A great matter, beloved, a great matter it is to preside over a Church: a matter needing wisdom and courage as great as that of which Christ speaketh, that a man should lay down his life for the sheep, and never leave them deserted or naked; that he should stand against the wolf nobly.
