PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Jesús dijo: «Es verdad que para entrar al redil de las ovejas hay que entrar por la puerta, porque el que salta por otro lado es un ladrón y un bandido.
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.
1 Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ μὴ εἰσερχόμενος διὰ τῆς θύρας εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τῶν προβάτων, ἀλλὰ ἀναβαίνων ἀλλαχόθεν, ἐκεῖνος κλέπτης ἐστὶ καὶ λῃστής·
2 En cambio, el que entra por la puerta es el pastor de las ovejas.
2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
2 ὁ δὲ εἰσερχόμενος διὰ τῆς θύρας ποιμήν ἐστι τῶν προβάτων.
3 El portero le abre a este la puerta y las ovejas oyen su voz. Llama a las ovejas por su nombre y las saca del redil.
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.
3 τούτῳ ὁ θυρωρὸς ἀνοίγει, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούει, καὶ τὰ ἴδια πρόβατα καλεῖ κατ᾽ ὄνομα καὶ ἐξάγει αὐτά.
4 Cuando ya ha sacado a todas las que son suyas, él va delante de ellas, y las ovejas lo siguen porque reconocen su voz.
4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
4 καὶ ὅταν τὰ ἴδια πρόβατα ἐκβάλῃ, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν πορεύεται, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῷ ἀκολουθεῖ, ὅτι οἴδασι τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ·
5 Pero a un desconocido no lo siguen; más bien, huyen de él porque no reconocen su voz».
5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don’t know the voice of strangers.”
5 ἀλλοτρίῳ δὲ οὐ μὴ ἀκολουθήσωσιν, ἀλλὰ φεύξονται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδασι τῶν ἀλλοτρίων τὴν φωνήν.
6 Jesús les puso este ejemplo, pero ellos no entendieron lo que les quería decir.
6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.
6 Ταύτην τὴν παροιμίαν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τίνα ἦν ἃ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς.
7 Por eso, Jesús volvió a decirles: «Sí, 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.
7 Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα τῶν προβάτων.
8 Todos los que vinieron antes que yo eran unos ladrones y unos bandidos, por eso las ovejas no les hicieron caso.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.
8 πάντες ὅσοι ἦλθον πρὸ ἐμοῦ, κλέπται εἰσὶ καὶ λῃσταί· ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἤκουσαν αὐτῶν τὰ πρόβατα.
9 Yo soy la puerta; el que entra por esta puerta, se salvará. Podrá entrar y salir, 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.
9 ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα· δι᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐάν τις εἰσέλθῃ, σωθήσεται, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται καὶ ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ νομὴν εὑρήσει.
10 El ladrón sólo viene a robar, 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.
10 ὁ κλέπτης οὐκ ἔρχεται εἰ μὴ ἵνα κλέψῃ καὶ θύσῃ καὶ ἀπολέσῃ· ἐγὼ ἦλθον ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχωσι καὶ περισσὸν ἔχωσιν.
11 »Yo soy el buen pastor. El buen pastor da su vida por las ovejas.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
11 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός. ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλὸς τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τίθησιν ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων·
12 El que trabaja por un salario no es el pastor, y las ovejas no le pertenecen a él. Por eso, cuando ve venir al lobo, abandona las ovejas y huye. Entonces el lobo ataca al rebaño y lo dispersa por todos lados.
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.
12 ὁ μισθωτὸς δὲ καὶ οὐκ ὢν ποιμήν, οὗ οὐκ εἰσὶ τὰ πρόβατα ἴδια, θεωρεῖ τὸν λύκον ἐρχόμενον καὶ ἀφίησι τὰ πρόβατα καὶ φεύγει· καὶ ὁ λύκος ἁρπάζει αὐτὰ καὶ σκορπίζει τὰ πρόβατα.
13 Y ese hombre huye porque sólo le importa su salario y no las ovejas.
13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.
13 ὁ δὲ μισθωτὸς φεύγει, ὅτι μισθωτός ἐστι καὶ οὐ μέλει αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν προβάτων.
14 Yo soy el buen pastor. Yo conozco a mis ovejas y ellas me conocen a mí,
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;
14 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός, καὶ γινώσκω τὰ ἐμὰ καὶ γινώσκομαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἐμῶν,
15 así como el Padre me conoce a mí y yo lo conozco a él, y doy 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.
15 καθὼς γινώσκει με ὁ πατὴρ κἀγὼ γινώσκω τὸν πατέρα, καὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου τίθημι ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων.
16 »Tengo otras ovejas que no son de este redil, y también a ellas debo traerlas. Ellas escucharán mi voz, y formarán un solo rebaño con un solo 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.
16 καὶ ἄλλα πρόβατα ἔχω, ἃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης· κἀκεῖνά με δεῖ ἀγαγεῖν, καὶ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούσουσι, καὶ γενήσεται μία ποίμνη, εἷς ποιμήν.
17 »El Padre me ama porque entrego mi vida para volver a recibirla.
17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
17 διὰ τοῦτο ὁ πατήρ με ἀγαπᾷ, ὅτι ἐγὼ τίθημι τὴν ψυχήν μου, ἵνα πάλιν λάβω αὐτήν.
18 Nadie me la quita, sino que yo la entrego por mi propia voluntad. Tengo poder para entregarla, y también tengo poder para volver a recibirla. Esto es lo que mi Padre me ordenó».
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.”
18 οὐδεὶς αἴρει αὐτὴν ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ· ἐξουσίαν ἔχω θεῖναι αὐτήν, καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔχω πάλιν λαβεῖν αὐτήν· ταύτην τὴν ἐντολὴν ἔλαβον παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου.
19 Una vez más, cuando los judíos oyeron las palabras de Jesús, surgieron divisiones entre ellos.
19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
19 Σχίσμα οὖν πάλιν ἐγένετο ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις διὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
20 Muchos decían: «Este tiene un demonio, y está loco. ¿Por qué le hacen caso?».
20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”
20 ἔλεγον δὲ πολλοὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν· δαιμόνιον ἔχει καὶ μαίνεται· τί αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε;
21 Pero otros decían: «Nadie que tenga un demonio puede hablar así. Además, ¿acaso puede un demonio abrirles los ojos a 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?”
21 ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα οὐκ ἔστι δαιμονιζομένου· μὴ δαιμόνιον δύναται τυφλῶν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνοίγειν;
22 Era invierno y por esos días se celebraba en Jerusalén la fiesta de la Dedicación.
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
22 Ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ ἐγκαίνια ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις, καὶ χειμὼν ἦν·
23 Jesús andaba en el templo, por el pórtico de Salomón.
23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
23 καὶ περιεπάτει ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐν τῇ στοᾷ τοῦ Σολομῶνος.
24 Entonces lo rodearon los judíos y le preguntaron: ―¿Hasta cuándo nos vas a tener con esta duda? Si tú eres el Cristo, dínoslo claramente.
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.”
24 ἐκύκλωσαν οὖν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ ἔλεγον αὐτῷ· ἕως πότε τὴν ψυχὴν ἡμῶν αἴρεις; εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστός, εἰπὲ ἡμῖν παρρησίᾳ.
25 Jesús les respondió: ―Ya se lo he dicho y ustedes no me creen. Las cosas que yo hago en nombre de mi Padre son las que lo demuestran.
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.
25 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἶπον ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε· τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρός μου, ταῦτα μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ·
26 Pero ustedes no me creen porque no son de mi rebaño.
26 But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
26 ἀλλ᾽ ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετε· οὐ γάρ ἐστε ἐκ τῶν προβάτων τῶν ἐμῶν, καθὼς εἶπον ὑμῖν.
27 Mis ovejas oyen mi voz; yo las conozco y ellas me siguen.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
27 τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἐμὰ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούει, κἀγὼ γινώσκω αὐτά, καὶ ἀκολουθοῦσί μοι,
28 Yo les doy vida eterna y jamás perecerán ni nadie podrá arrebatármelas de la mano.
28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
28 κἀγὼ ζωὴν αἰώνιον δίδωμι αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀπόλωνται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ οὐχ ἁρπάσει τις αὐτὰ ἐκ τῆς χειρός μου.
29 Mi Padre me las dio, y él es más grande que todos; por eso, nadie se las puede arrebatar de la mano.
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.
29 ὁ πατήρ μου, ὃς δέδωκέ μοι, μείζων πάντων ἐστί, καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται ἁρπάζειν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ πατρός μου.
30 El Padre y yo somos uno.
30 I and the Father are one.”
30 ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ἕν ἐσμεν.
31 Los judíos, una vez más, tomaron piedras para arrojárselas,
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
31 Ἐβάστασαν οὖν πάλιν λίθους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα λιθάσωσιν αὐτόν.
32 pero Jesús les dijo: ―Yo les he mostrado muchas cosas buenas que he hecho por el poder de mi Padre. ¿Por cuál de ellas me quieren apedrear?
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”
32 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· πολλὰ καλὰ ἔργα ἔδειξα ὑμῖν ἐκ τοῦ πατρός μου· διὰ ποῖον αὐτῶν ἔργον λιθάζετέ με;
33 Los judíos le respondieron: ―No te apedreamos por ninguna de ellas sino porque has blasfemado. Tú no eres más que un hombre y te haces pasar por 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.”
33 ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες· περὶ καλοῦ ἔργου οὐ λιθάζομέν σε, ἀλλὰ περὶ βλασφημίας, καὶ ὅτι σὺ ἄνθρωπος ὢν ποιεῖς σεαυτὸν Θεόν.
34 Jesús respondió: ―¿Acaso no está escrito en su ley: “Yo he dicho que ustedes son dioses”?
34 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
34 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οὐκ ἔστι γεγραμμένον ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὑμῶν, ἐγὼ εἶπα, θεοί ἐστε;
35 Si Dios llamó “dioses” a aquellos para los que vino su mensaje (y la Escritura no se puede negar),
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),
35 εἰ ἐκείνους εἶπε θεούς, πρὸς οὓς ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ οὐ δύναται λυθῆναι ἡ γραφή,
36 ¿por qué me acusan de haber blasfemado si el Padre me apartó y me envió al mundo? ¿Me acusan porque dije que soy el Hijo de Dios?
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’?
36 ὃν ὁ πατὴρ ἡγίασε καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι βλασφημεῖς, ὅτι εἶπον, υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰμι;
37 Si no hago las obras de mi Padre, no me crean;
37 If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.
37 εἰ οὐ ποιῶ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρός μου, μὴ πιστεύετέ μοι·
38 pero si las hago, crean en mis obras, aunque no me crean a mí. Así se convencerán de que el Padre está en mí y que yo estoy 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.”
38 εἰ δὲ ποιῶ, κἂν ἐμοὶ μὴ πιστεύητε, τοῖς ἔργοις πιστεύσατε, ἵνα γνῶτε καὶ πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ πατὴρ κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτῷ.
39 Una vez más trataron de arrestarlo, pero él se les escapó de las manos.
39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
39 Ἐζήτουν οὖν πάλιν πιάσαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
40 Regresó Jesús al otro lado del Jordán, al lugar donde Juan había estado bautizando, y allí se quedó.
40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
40 Καὶ ἀπῆλθε πάλιν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, εἰς τὸν τόπον ὅπου ἦν Ἰωάννης τὸ πρῶτον βαπτίζων, καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐκεῖ.
41 Mucha gente iba a verlo y decían: «Juan nunca hizo ninguna señal milagrosa, pero todo lo que dijo de este hombre era verdad».
41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”
41 καὶ πολλοὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι Ἰωάννης μὲν σημεῖον ἐποίησεν οὐδέν, πάντα δὲ ὅσα εἶπεν Ἰωάννης περὶ τούτου, ἀληθῆ ἦν.
42 Y muchos en aquel lugar creyeron en Jesús.
42 Many believed in him there.
42 καὶ ἐπίστευσαν πολλοὶ ἐκεῖ εἰς αὐτόν.

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).

  1. Commentary 10:14 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXXXVIII)

    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.

  2. Commentary 10:1 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter X — 1-10)

    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.

  3. Commentary 10:14 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of John (Homily LX)

    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.

    … loved us, for whom He, who thought it no robbery to be equal with Thee, "became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross;" He alone "free among the dead," that had power to lay down His life, and power to take it again; for us was He unto Thee both Victor and Victim, and the Victor as being …

    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 …
