Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 А҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ: не входѧ́й две́рьми во дво́ръ ѻ҆́вчїй, но прела́зѧ и҆́нꙋдѣ, то́й та́ть є҆́сть и҆ разбо́йникъ:
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 а҆ входѧ́й две́рьми па́стырь є҆́сть ѻ҆вца́мъ:
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 семꙋ̀ две́рникъ ѿверза́етъ, и҆ ѻ҆́вцы гла́съ є҆гѡ̀ слы́шатъ, и҆ своѧ̑ ѻ҆́вцы глаша́етъ по и҆́мени, и҆ и҆зго́нитъ и҆̀хъ:
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 и҆ є҆гда̀ своѧ̑ ѻ҆́вцы и҆ждене́тъ, пред̾ ни́ми хо́дитъ: и҆ ѻ҆́вцы по не́мъ и҆́дꙋтъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́дѧтъ гла́съ є҆гѡ̀:
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 по чꙋжде́мъ же не и҆́дꙋтъ, но бѣжа́тъ ѿ негѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не зна́ютъ чꙋжда́гѡ гла́са.
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 Сїю̀ при́тчꙋ речѐ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: ѻ҆ни́ же не разꙋмѣ́ша, что̀ бѧ́ше, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃аше и҆̀мъ.
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 Рече́ же па́ки и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: а҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь две́рь ѻ҆вца́мъ.
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 Всѝ, є҆ли́кѡ (и҆́хъ) прїи́де пре́жде менє̀, та́тїе сꙋ́ть и҆ разбѡ́йницы: но не послꙋ́шаша и҆́хъ ѻ҆́вцы.
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 А҆́зъ є҆́смь две́рь: мно́ю а҆́ще кто̀ вни́детъ, сп҃се́тсѧ, и҆ вни́детъ и҆ и҆зы́детъ, и҆ па́жить ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ.
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 Та́ть не прихо́дитъ, ра́звѣ да ᲂу҆кра́детъ и҆ ᲂу҆бїе́тъ и҆ погꙋби́тъ: а҆́зъ прїидо́хъ, да живо́тъ и҆́мꙋтъ и҆ ли́шше и҆́мꙋтъ.
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 А҆́зъ є҆́смь па́стырь до́брый: па́стырь до́брый дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ полага́етъ за ѻ҆́вцы:
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 а҆ нае́мникъ, и҆́же нѣ́сть па́стырь, є҆мꙋ́же не сꙋ́ть ѻ҆́вцы своѧ̑, ви́дитъ во́лка грѧдꙋ́ща и҆ ѡ҆ставлѧ́етъ ѻ҆́вцы и҆ бѣ́гаетъ, и҆ во́лкъ расхи́титъ и҆̀хъ и҆ распꙋ́дитъ ѻ҆́вцы:
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 а҆ нае́мникъ бѣжи́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нае́мникъ є҆́сть и҆ неради́тъ ѡ҆ ѻ҆вца́хъ.
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 А҆́зъ є҆́смь па́стырь до́брый: и҆ зна́ю моѧ̑, и҆ зна́ютъ мѧ̀ моѧ̑:
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 ꙗ҆́коже зна́етъ мѧ̀ ѻ҆ц҃ъ, и҆ а҆́зъ зна́ю ѻ҆ц҃а̀: и҆ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ полага́ю за ѻ҆́вцы.
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 И҆ и҆́ны ѻ҆́вцы и҆́мамъ, ꙗ҆̀же не сꙋ́ть ѿ двора̀ сегѡ̀, и҆ ты̑ѧ мѝ подоба́етъ привестѝ: и҆ гла́съ мо́й ᲂу҆слы́шатъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ є҆ди́но ста́до (и҆) є҆ди́нъ па́стырь.
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 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди мѧ̀ ѻ҆ц҃ъ лю́битъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ дш҃ꙋ мою̀ полага́ю, да па́ки прїимꙋ̀ ю҆̀:
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 никто́же во́зметъ ю҆̀ ѿ менє̀, но а҆́зъ полага́ю ю҆̀ ѡ҆ себѣ̀: ѡ҆́бласть и҆́мамъ положи́ти ю҆̀ и҆ ѡ҆́бласть и҆́мамъ па́ки прїѧ́ти ю҆̀: сїю̀ за́повѣдь прїѧ́хъ ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀.
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.”
19 Ра́спрѧ же па́ки бы́сть во і҆ꙋде́ехъ за словеса̀ сїѧ̑.
19 Y volvió á haber disensión entre los Judíos por estas palabras.
19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
20 Глаго́лахꙋ же мно́зи ѿ ни́хъ: бѣ́са и҆́мать и҆ неи́стовъ є҆́сть: что̀ є҆гѡ̀ послꙋ́шаете;
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 И҆ні́и глаго́лахꙋ: сі́и гл҃гѡ́ли не сꙋ́ть бѣснꙋ́ющагѡсѧ: є҆да̀ мо́жетъ бѣ́съ слѣпы̑мъ ѻ҆́чи ѿве́рсти;
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?”
22 Бы́ша же (тогда̀) ѡ҆бновлє́нїѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣхъ, и҆ зима̀ бѣ̀.
22 Y se hacía la fiesta de la dedicación en Jerusalem; y era invierno;
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
23 И҆ хожда́ше і҆и҃съ въ це́ркви, въ притво́рѣ соломѡ́ни.
23 Y Jesús andaba en el templo por el portal de Salomón.
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Ѡ҆быдо́ша же є҆го̀ і҆ꙋде́є и҆ глаго́лахꙋ є҆мꙋ̀: доко́лѣ дꙋ́шы на́шѧ взе́млеши; а҆́ще ты̀ є҆сѝ хрⷭ҇то́съ, рцы̀ на́мъ не ѡ҆бинꙋ́ѧсѧ.
24 Y rodeáronle los Judíos y dijéronle: ¿Hasta cuándo nos has de turbar el alma? Si tú eres el Cristo, dínos[lo] abiertamente.
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 Ѿвѣща̀ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: рѣ́хъ ва́мъ, и҆ не вѣ́рꙋете: дѣла̀, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ творю̀ ѡ҆ и҆́мени ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀, та̑ свидѣ́тельствꙋютъ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀:
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 но вы̀ не вѣ́рꙋете, нѣ́сте бо ѿ ѻ҆ве́цъ мои́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже рѣ́хъ ва́мъ:
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 ѻ҆́вцы моѧ̑ гла́са моегѡ̀ слꙋ́шаютъ, и҆ а҆́зъ зна́ю и҆̀хъ, и҆ по мнѣ̀ грѧдꙋ́тъ:
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 и҆ а҆́зъ живо́тъ вѣ́чный да́мъ и҆̀мъ, и҆ не поги́бнꙋтъ во вѣ́ки, и҆ не восхи́титъ и҆́хъ никто́же ѿ рꙋкѝ моеѧ̀:
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 ѻ҆ц҃ъ мо́й, и҆́же дадѐ мнѣ̀, бо́лїй всѣ́хъ є҆́сть, и҆ никто́же мо́жетъ восхи́тити и҆̀хъ ѿ рꙋкѝ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀:
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 Взѧ́ша же ка́менїе па́ки і҆ꙋде́є, да побїю́тъ є҆го̀.
31 Entonces volvieron á tomar piedras los Judíos para apedrearle.
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Ѿвѣща̀ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: мнѡ́га дѡбра̀ дѣла̀ ꙗ҆ви́хъ ва́мъ ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀: за ко́е и҆́хъ дѣ́ло ка́менїе ме́щете на мѧ̀;
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 Ѿвѣща́ша є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ꙋде́є, глаго́люще: ѡ҆ добрѣ̀ дѣ́лѣ ка́менїе не ме́щемъ на тѧ̀, но ѡ҆ хꙋлѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀, чл҃вѣ́къ сы́й, твори́ши себѐ бг҃а.
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 Ѿвѣща̀ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: нѣ́сть ли пи́сано въ зако́нѣ ва́шемъ: а҆́зъ рѣ́хъ: бо́зи є҆стѐ;
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 А҆́ще ѻ҆́ныхъ речѐ богѡ́въ, къ ни̑мже сло́во бж҃їе бы́сть, и҆ не мо́жетъ разори́тисѧ писа́нїе:
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 є҆го́же ѻ҆ц҃ъ ст҃ѝ и҆ посла̀ въ мі́ръ, вы̀ глаго́лете, ꙗ҆́кѡ хꙋлꙋ̀ гл҃еши, занѐ рѣ́хъ: сн҃ъ бж҃їй є҆́смь.
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 А҆́ще не творю̀ дѣла̀ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀, не и҆ми́те мѝ вѣ́ры:
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 а҆́ще ли творю̀, а҆́ще и҆ мнѣ̀ не вѣ́рꙋете, дѣлѡ́мъ (мои̑мъ) вѣ́рꙋйте: да разꙋмѣ́ете и҆ вѣ́рꙋете, ꙗ҆́кѡ во мнѣ̀ ѻ҆ц҃ъ, и҆ а҆́зъ въ не́мъ.
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.”
39 И҆ска́хꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо па́ки ꙗ҆́ти є҆го̀: и҆ и҆зы́де ѿ рꙋ́къ и҆́хъ,
39 Y procuraban otra vez prenderle; mas él se salió de sus manos;
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
40 и҆ и҆́де па́ки на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ і҆ѻрда́на, на мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ і҆ѡа́ннъ пре́жде крестѧ̀, и҆ пребы́сть тꙋ̀.
40 Y volvióse tras el Jordán, á aquel lugar donde primero había estado bautizando Juan; y estúvose allí.
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 И҆ мно́зи прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀ и҆ глаго́лахꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆ѡа́ннъ ᲂу҆́бѡ зна́менїѧ не сотворѝ ни є҆ди́нагѡ: всѧ̑ же, є҆ли̑ка речѐ і҆ѡа́ннъ ѡ҆ се́мъ, и҆́стинна бѧ́хꙋ.
41 Y muchos venían á él, y decían: Juan, á la verdad, ninguna señal hizo; mas todo lo que Juan dijo de éste, era verdad.
41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”

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.

Our Lord's discourse to the Jews began in connection with the man who was born blind and was restored to sight. Your Charity therefore ought to know and be advised that today's lesson is interwoven with that one.

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.

And not here only, but also in another case again, when they were saying, "For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God," neither in that instance did He put down this opinion, but again confirmed it, saying, "If I do not the works of my Father, believe …
