WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω, όστις δεν εισέρχεται διά της θύρας εις την αυλήν των προβάτων, αλλά αναβαίνει αλλαχόθεν, εκείνος είναι κλέπτης και ληστής·
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 όστις όμως εισέρχεται διά της θύρας, είναι ποιμήν των προβάτων.
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 Εις τούτον ο θυρωρός ανοίγει, και τα πρόβατα την φωνήν αυτού ακούουσι, και τα εαυτού πρόβατα κράζει κατ' όνομα και εξάγει αυτά.
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 Και όταν εκβάλη τα εαυτού πρόβατα, υπάγει έμπροσθεν αυτών, και τα πρόβατα ακολουθούσιν αυτόν, διότι γνωρίζουσι την φωνήν αυτού.
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 Ξένον όμως δεν θέλουσιν ακολουθήσει, αλλά θέλουσι φύγει απ' αυτού, διότι δεν γνωρίζουσι την φωνήν των ξένων.
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 Ταύτην την παραβολήν είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· εκείνοι όμως δεν ενόησαν τι ήσαν ταύτα, τα οποία ελάλει προς αυτούς.
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 Είπε λοιπόν πάλιν προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω ότι εγώ είμαι η θύρα των προβάτων.
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 Πάντες όσοι ήλθον προ εμού κλέπται είναι και λησταί· αλλά δεν ήκουσαν αυτούς τα πρόβατα.
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 Εγώ είμαι η θύρα· δι' εμού εάν τις εισέλθη, θέλει σωθή και θέλει εισέλθει και εξέλθει και θέλει ευρεί βοσκήν.
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 Ο κλέπτης δεν έρχεται, ειμή διά να κλέψη και θύση και απολέση· εγώ ήλθον διά να έχωσι ζωήν και να έχωσιν αυτήν εν αφθονία.
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 Εγώ είμαι ο ποιμήν ο καλός. Ο ποιμήν ο καλός την ψυχήν αυτού βάλλει υπέρ των προβάτων·
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 ο δε μισθωτός και μη ων ποιμήν, του οποίου δεν είναι τα πρόβατα ιδικά του, θεωρεί τον λύκον ερχόμενον και αφίνει τα πρόβατα και φεύγει· και ο λύκος αρπάζει αυτά και σκορπίζει τα πρόβατα.
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 Ο δε μισθωτός φεύγει, διότι είναι μισθωτός και δεν μέλει αυτόν περί των προβάτων.
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 Εγώ είμαι ο ποιμήν ο καλός, και γνωρίζω τα εμά και γνωρίζομαι υπό των εμών,
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 καθώς με γνωρίζει ο Πατήρ και εγώ γνωρίζω τον Πατέρα, και την ψυχήν μου βάλλω υπέρ των προβάτων.
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 Και άλλα πρόβατα έχω, τα οποία δεν είναι εκ της αυλής ταύτης· και εκείνα πρέπει να συνάξω, και θέλουσιν ακούσει την φωνήν μου, και θέλει γείνει μία ποίμνη, εις ποιμήν.
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 Διά τούτο ο Πατήρ με αγαπά, διότι εγώ βάλλω την ψυχήν μου, διά να λάβω αυτήν πάλιν.
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 Ουδείς αφαιρεί αυτήν απ' εμού, αλλ' εγώ βάλλω αυτήν απ' εμαυτού· εξουσίαν έχω να βάλω αυτήν, και εξουσίαν έχω πάλιν να λάβω αυτήν· ταύτην την εντολήν έλαβον παρά του Πατρός μου.
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 Σχίσμα λοιπόν έγεινε πάλιν μεταξύ των Ιουδαίων διά τους λόγους τούτους.
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 Και έλεγον πολλοί εξ αυτών· Δαιμόνιον έχει και είναι μαινόμενος· τι ακούετε αυτόν;
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 Άλλοι έλεγον· Ούτοι οι λόγοι δεν είναι δαιμονιζομένου· μήπως δύναται δαιμόνιον να ανοίγη οφθαλμούς τυφλών;
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 Έγειναν δε τα εγκαίνια εν Ιεροσολύμοις, και ήτο χειμών·
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 και ο Ιησούς περιεπάτει εν τω ιερώ εν τη στοά του Σολομώντος.
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 Περιεκύκλωσαν λοιπόν αυτόν οι Ιουδαίοι και έλεγον προς αυτόν· Έως πότε κρατείς εν αμφιβολία την ψυχήν ημών; εάν συ ήσαι ο Χριστός, ειπέ προς ημάς παρρησία.
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 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Σας είπον, και δεν πιστεύετε. Τα έργα, τα οποία εγώ κάμνω εν τω ονόματι του Πατρός μου, ταύτα μαρτυρούσι περί εμού·
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 αλλά σεις δεν πιστεύετε· διότι δεν είσθε εκ των προβάτων των εμών, καθώς σας είπον.
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 Τα πρόβατα τα εμά ακούουσι την φωνήν μου, και εγώ γνωρίζω αυτά, και με ακολουθούσι.
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 Και εγώ δίδω εις αυτά ζωήν αιώνιον, και δεν θέλουσιν απολεσθή εις τον αιώνα, και ουδείς θέλει αρπάσει αυτά εκ της χειρός μου.
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 Ο Πατήρ μου, όστις μοι έδωκεν αυτά, είναι μεγαλήτερος πάντων, και ουδείς δύναται να αρπάση εκ της χειρός του Πατρός μου.
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 Επίασαν λοιπόν πάλιν οι Ιουδαίοι λίθους, διά να λιθοβολήσωσιν αυτόν.
31 Entonces volvieron á tomar piedras los Judíos para apedrearle.
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Πολλά καλά έργα έδειξα εις εσάς εκ του Πατρός μου· διά ποίον έργον εξ αυτών με λιθοβολείτε;
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 Απεκρίθησαν προς αυτόν οι Ιουδαίοι, λέγοντες· Περί καλού έργου δεν σε λιθοβολούμεν, αλλά περί βλασφημίας, και διότι συ άνθρωπος ων κάμνεις σεαυτόν Θεόν.
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 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Δεν είναι γεγραμμένον εν τω νόμω υμών, Εγώ είπα, θεοί είσθε;
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 Εάν εκείνους είπε θεούς, προς τους οποίους έγεινεν ο λόγος του Θεού, και δεν δύναται να αναιρεθή η γραφή,
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 εκείνον, τον οποίον ο Πατήρ ηγίασε και απέστειλεν εις τον κόσμον, σεις λέγετε ότι βλασφημείς, διότι είπον, Υιός του Θεού είμαι;
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 Εάν δεν κάμνω τα έργα του Πατρός μου, μη πιστεύετε εις εμέ·
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 αλλ' εάν κάμνω, αν και εις εμέ δεν πιστεύητε, πιστεύσατε εις τα έργα, διά να γνωρίσητε και πιστεύσητε ότι ο Πατήρ είναι εν εμοί και εγώ εν αυτώ.
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 Εζήτουν λοιπόν πάλιν να πιάσωσιν αυτόν· και εξέφυγεν εκ της χειρός αυτών.
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 Και υπήγε πάλιν πέραν του Ιορδάνου, εις τον τόπον όπου εβάπτιζε κατ' αρχάς ο Ιωάννης, και έμεινεν εκεί.
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 Και πολλοί ήλθον προς αυτόν και έλεγον ότι ο Ιωάννης μεν ουδέν θαύμα έκαμε, πάντα όμως όσα είπεν ο Ιωάννης περί τούτου, ήσαν αληθινά.
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.”
42 Και εκεί επίστευσαν πολλοί εις αυτόν.
42 Y muchos creyeron allí en él.
42 Many believed in him there.

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 …
