Pero on yejhuan calaquis ipan on tlatzacuilyotl, yejhua tlajpixqui ica on borregos. Se tlacatl quitlapohuilia on tlatzacuilyotl para ma calaqui on tlajpixqui. Quemaj on borregos yejhuan iyaxcahuan quitencaquij ijcuac quintocayotia. Quemaj quinquixtia.

Jesús yejhua cuajli tlajpixqui

Yejhua ica Jesús ocsejpa oquimijlij:

―Ica tlen melahuac nemechijlia: nejhua nitlatzacuilyotl campa calaquij on borreguitos. Nochimej yejhuan achtoj de nejhua ohualajquej tlachtequej, pero on borregos xoquitencaquej. Nejhua nitlatzacuilyotl. Yejhuan notechcopa calaquis, nomaquixtis. Niman yejhua yes quen on se borrego yejhuan calaqui niman quisa ipan on corral niman quinextia tlen quicua. 10 On tlachtequetl huajlau san para tlachtequi, temictia niman tlaxoxotonia. Pero nejhua onihuajlaj para quipiasquej nemilistli, niman ipan innemilis nochi cuajli quisas.

11 'Nejhua nicuajli tlajpixqui. On cuajli tlapixqui quitemaca inemilis impampa on borregos. 12 Pero on yejhuan tequiti san pampa quitlaxtlahuiliaj, ijcuac quita huajlau on yolqui lobo, quincahua on borregos niman cholojtehua, pampa yejhua xtlajpixqui niman on borregos xiyaxcahuan. Quemaj on yolquej quinmajsi on borregos niman quinchajchayahuaj. 13 Yejhua in tlacatl cholojtehua pampa tequiti san ica quitlaxtlahuiliaj, niman para yejhua xitlaj quijtosnequi on borregos. 16 No niquimpia ocsequimej borregos yejhuan xtlapohualti ipan in corral. No ica oncaj niquinhuajhuicas. Yejhuamej cuajli quitencaquisquej notlajtol niman nechtlacamatisquej. Ijcon, tej, san secan nemisquej niman no san se tlapixqui nemis.

17 'NoTajtzin nechtlajsojtla pampa nictemaca nonemilis para noborregos. Niman quemaj ocsejpa ninoyolihuitis. 18 Xacaj nechcuilia nonemilis, yej nejhua nictemaca ican cuajli noyojlo. Nihueli nictemacas nonemilis, niman no nihueli ocsejpa ninoyolitis. Ijcon noTajtzin onechnahuatij para nicchihuas.

19 Ijcuac on hebreos ocacquej on tlajtoltin, ocsejpa xoquipixquej san se inyojlo. 20 Miyequej yejhuamej quijtohuayaj:

―¿Tlica nenquicaquij in tlacatl? Yejhua quipia se xcuajli espíritu niman loco.

21 Pero ocsequimej quijtohuayaj:

―Xacaj yejhuan quipia se xcuajli espíritu hueli ijcon tlajtohua. ¿Tlen hueli se xcuajli espíritu quimpajtia imixtololojhuan on coxcatzitzintin?

On hebreos xoquiselijquej Jesús

Ijcuacon invierno ijcuac sehua catca. 23 Jesús quistinemiya ne ipan on icorredor on hueyi tiopan itoca Icorredor Salomón. 24 Niman on hebreos oquiteyehualojquej, niman oquijlijquej:

―¿Hasta quemanon titechometlamachilispias? Tla tejhua tiCristo, amantzin cuajli xtechijli.

25 Jesús oquimijlij:

―Yonemechijlij niman xonennechneltocajquej. On tlajtlamach yejhuan nicchihua ipan itocatzin noTajtzin nechteixpantiaj aquin nejhua. 26 Pero nemejhuamej xnennechneltocaj pampa xnentejhuamej nentlapohualtin intech on noborregos. 27 Noborregos nechtencaquij, niman nejhua niquimixmati niman nechcuitlapanhuiaj. 28 Nejhua niquinmaca on nemilistli yejhuan para nochipa, niman yejhuamej xqueman miquisquej, niman xacaj huelis nechincuijcuilis. 29 NoTajtzin yejhuan onechinmacac noborregos, yejhua más hueyi xquen yacaj ocse. Yejhua ica xacaj huelis quintecuilis itech. 30 Nejhua niman noTajtzin san se tinemij.

31 Quemaj on hebreos ocsejpa ocontilanquej temej para quimojmotlasquiaj. 32 Niman Jesús oquimijlij:

―Nemixpan yonicchiu miyec tlajtlamach tlen cuajli itechcopa ipoder noTajtzin. ¿Catlejhua de in tlajtlamach ica nennechmojmotlasnequij?

33 On hebreos oquijlijquej:

―Nion se ica on tlen cuajli oticchiu timitzmojmotlasnequij, yej pampa ticuijhuicaltia Dios ican motlajtol. Tejhua san titlacatl, pero timotenehua tiDios.

34 Jesús ijcuacon oquimijlij:

―Ipan nemotlanahuatil tlajcuilolnesticaj ica Dios oquijtoj: “Nemejhuamej nendioses.” 35 Ticmatij ica tlen quijtohua on Yectlajcuilojli xqueman huelis nopatlas.

42 Niman ompa miyequej oquineltocaquej Jesús.

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep

10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.(A) The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.(B) The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice.(C) He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.(D) When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.(E) But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech,(F) but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.(G)

Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am(H) the gate(I) for the sheep. All who have come before me(J) are thieves and robbers,(K) but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,(L) and have it to the full.(M)

11 “I am(N) the good shepherd.(O) The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.(P) 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.(Q) Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd;(R) I know my sheep(S) and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father(T)—and I lay down my life for the sheep.(U) 16 I have other sheep(V) that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock(W) and one shepherd.(X) 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life(Y)—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.(Z) I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”(AA)

19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided.(AB) 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed(AC) and raving mad.(AD) Why listen to him?”

21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon.(AE) Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”(AF)

Further Conflict Over Jesus’ Claims

22 Then came the Festival of Dedication[b] at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.(AG) 24 The Jews(AH) who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”(AI)

25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you,(AJ) but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,(AK) 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.(AL) 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them,(AM) and they follow me.(AN) 28 I give them eternal life,(AO) and they shall never perish;(AP) no one will snatch them out of my hand.(AQ) 29 My Father, who has given them to me,(AR) is greater than all[c];(AS) no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”(AT)

31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,(AU) 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”(AV)

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(AW) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[d]?(AX) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(AY) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(AZ) 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(BA) as his very own(BB) and sent into the world?(BC) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(BD) 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.(BE) 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”(BF) 39 Again they tried to seize him,(BG) but he escaped their grasp.(BH)

40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan(BI) to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign,(BJ) all that John said about this man was true.”(BK) 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.(BL)
