PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
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 “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 όστις όμως εισέρχεται διά της θύρας, είναι ποιμήν των προβάτων.
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 Εις τούτον ο θυρωρός ανοίγει, και τα πρόβατα την φωνήν αυτού ακούουσι, και τα εαυτού πρόβατα κράζει κατ' όνομα και εξάγει αυτά.
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 Και όταν εκβάλη τα εαυτού πρόβατα, υπάγει έμπροσθεν αυτών, και τα πρόβατα ακολουθούσιν αυτόν, διότι γνωρίζουσι την φωνήν αυτού.
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 Ξένον όμως δεν θέλουσιν ακολουθήσει, αλλά θέλουσι φύγει απ' αυτού, διότι δεν γνωρίζουσι την φωνήν των ξένων.
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 Ταύτην την παραβολήν είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· εκείνοι όμως δεν ενόησαν τι ήσαν ταύτα, τα οποία ελάλει προς αυτούς.
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 Είπε λοιπόν πάλιν προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Αληθώς, αληθώς σας λέγω ότι εγώ είμαι η θύρα των προβάτων.
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 Πάντες όσοι ήλθον προ εμού κλέπται είναι και λησταί· αλλά δεν ήκουσαν αυτούς τα πρόβατα.
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 Εγώ είμαι η θύρα· δι' εμού εάν τις εισέλθη, θέλει σωθή και θέλει εισέλθει και εξέλθει και θέλει ευρεί βοσκήν.
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 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 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 Εγώ είμαι ο ποιμήν ο καλός. Ο ποιμήν ο καλός την ψυχήν αυτού βάλλει υπέρ των προβάτων·
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 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 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 Ο δε μισθωτός φεύγει, διότι είναι μισθωτός και δεν μέλει αυτόν περί των προβάτων.
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 Εγώ είμαι ο ποιμήν ο καλός, και γνωρίζω τα εμά και γνωρίζομαι υπό των εμών,
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 καθώς με γνωρίζει ο Πατήρ και εγώ γνωρίζω τον Πατέρα, και την ψυχήν μου βάλλω υπέρ των προβάτων.
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 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 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 Διά τούτο ο Πατήρ με αγαπά, διότι εγώ βάλλω την ψυχήν μου, διά να λάβω αυτήν πάλιν.
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 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 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 Σχίσμα λοιπόν έγεινε πάλιν μεταξύ των Ιουδαίων διά τους λόγους τούτους.
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 Και έλεγον πολλοί εξ αυτών· Δαιμόνιον έχει και είναι μαινόμενος· τι ακούετε αυτόν;
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 Άλλοι έλεγον· Ούτοι οι λόγοι δεν είναι δαιμονιζομένου· μήπως δύναται δαιμόνιον να ανοίγη οφθαλμούς τυφλών;
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 Έγειναν δε τα εγκαίνια εν Ιεροσολύμοις, και ήτο χειμών·
22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
22 Ἐγένετο δὲ τὰ ἐγκαίνια ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις, καὶ χειμὼν ἦν·
23 και ο Ιησούς περιεπάτει εν τω ιερώ εν τη στοά του Σολομώντος.
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 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 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 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 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 αλλά σεις δεν πιστεύετε· διότι δεν είσθε εκ των προβάτων των εμών, καθώς σας είπον.
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 Τα πρόβατα τα εμά ακούουσι την φωνήν μου, και εγώ γνωρίζω αυτά, και με ακολουθούσι.
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 Και εγώ δίδω εις αυτά ζωήν αιώνιον, και δεν θέλουσιν απολεσθή εις τον αιώνα, και ουδείς θέλει αρπάσει αυτά εκ της χειρός μου.
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 Ο Πατήρ μου, όστις μοι έδωκεν αυτά, είναι μεγαλήτερος πάντων, και ουδείς δύναται να αρπάση εκ της χειρός του Πατρός μου.
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.
31 Επίασαν λοιπόν πάλιν οι Ιουδαίοι λίθους, διά να λιθοβολήσωσιν αυτόν.
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
31 Ἐβάστασαν οὖν πάλιν λίθους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα λιθάσωσιν αὐτόν.
32 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Πολλά καλά έργα έδειξα εις εσάς εκ του Πατρός μου· διά ποίον έργον εξ αυτών με λιθοβολείτε;
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 Απεκρίθησαν προς αυτόν οι Ιουδαίοι, λέγοντες· Περί καλού έργου δεν σε λιθοβολούμεν, αλλά περί βλασφημίας, και διότι συ άνθρωπος ων κάμνεις σεαυτόν Θεόν.
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 Απεκρίθη προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Δεν είναι γεγραμμένον εν τω νόμω υμών, Εγώ είπα, θεοί είσθε;
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 Εάν εκείνους είπε θεούς, προς τους οποίους έγεινεν ο λόγος του Θεού, και δεν δύναται να αναιρεθή η γραφή,
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 εκείνον, τον οποίον ο Πατήρ ηγίασε και απέστειλεν εις τον κόσμον, σεις λέγετε ότι βλασφημείς, διότι είπον, Υιός του Θεού είμαι;
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 Εάν δεν κάμνω τα έργα του Πατρός μου, μη πιστεύετε εις εμέ·
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 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 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 Εζήτουν λοιπόν πάλιν να πιάσωσιν αυτόν· και εξέφυγεν εκ της χειρός αυτών.
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 Και υπήγε πάλιν πέραν του Ιορδάνου, εις τον τόπον όπου εβάπτιζε κατ' αρχάς ο Ιωάννης, και έμεινεν εκεί.
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 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 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 Και εκεί επίστευσαν πολλοί εις αυτόν.
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).
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.

… 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 …
