1 Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen teile: kes ei lähe uksest sisse lambatarasse, vaid astub sisse mujalt, see on varas ja röövel!

2 Aga kes uksest sisse läheb, see on lammaste karjane,

3 sellele avab uksehoidja, ja lambad kuulevad ta häält, ja ta kutsub omi lambaid nimepidi ja viib nad välja.

4 Ja kui ta oma lambad on välja ajanud, käib ta nende ees ja lambad järgivad teda, sest nad tunnevad tema häält.

5 Aga võõrast nad ei järgi, vaid põgenevad tema eest, sest nad ei tunne vööraste häält!"

6 Selle võrduim Jeesus ütles neile; nemad aga ei saanud aru, mis see on, mida Ta neile rääkis.

7 Sellepärast ütles Jeesus taas: „Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen teile, et Mina olen lammaste üks!

8 Kõik, kes on tulnud enne Mind, on vargad ja röövlid; lambad aga ei ole neid kuulnud!

9 Mina olen uks. Kui keegi Minu kaudu sisse läheb, siis ta saab õndsaks ja käib sisse ja välja ja leiab karjamaad.

10 Varas ei tule muu pärast kui varastama ja tapma ning hukkama. Mina olen tulnud, et neil oleks elu ja kõike ülirohkesti!

11 Mina olen hea karjane. Hea karjane jätab oma elu lammaste eest.

12 Palgaline ja kes ei ole karjane, kelle omad lambad ei ole, näeb hundi tulevat ja jätab lambad maha ja põgeneb - ja hunt kisub neid ja ajab nad laiali.

13 - Ta põgeneb, sest ta on palgaline ega hooli lammastest.

14 Mina olen hea karjane ja tunnen Omi ja Minu Omad tunnevad Mind,

15 nõnda nagu Isa tunneb Mind ja Mina tunnen Isa, ja Ma jätan Oma elu lammaste eest.

16 Ja Mul on veel teisi lambaid, kes ei ole sellest tarast; needki ma pean tooma siia, ja nad kuulevad Minu häält, ja siis on üks kari ja üks Karjane.

17 Sellepärast Isa armastab Mind, et Ma jätan Oma elu, et seda jälle võtta.

18 Ūkski ei võta seda Minult, vaid Ma jätan selle Iseenesest. Mul on meelevald seda jätta ja Mul on meelevald seda jälle võtta. Selle käsusõna Ma olen saanud Oma Isalt!"

19 Siis tekkis taas vaidlus juutide keskel nende sõnade pärast.

20 Ja paljud nende seast ütlesid: „Temas on kuri vaim ja Ta jampsib! Miks te Teda kuulate?"

21

22 Siis tulid templi uuendamise pühad Jeruusalemas. 0li talv.

23 Ja Jeesus köndis pühakojas Saalomoni võlvitud hoones.

24 Siis juudid asusid Ta ümber ja ütlesid Temale: „Kaua sa pead meie hinge kahevahel? Oled Sa Kristus, siis ütle meile seda lausa!"

25 Jeesus kostis neile: „Ma olen teile juba ütelnud aga te ei usu! Teod, mis Ma teen Oma Isa nimel, need tunnistavad Minust.

26 Teie aga ei usu, sest teie ei ole Minu lammaste hulgast.

27 Minu lambad kuulevad Minu häält ja Mina tunnen neid ja nemad järgivad Mind.

28 Ja mina annan neile igavese elu ja nemad ei saa iialgi hukka, ja ükski ei kisu neid minu käest.

29 Minu Isa, Kes nad mulle on annud, on suurem kui kõik; ja ükski ei saa neid Minu Isa Käest ära kiskuda.

30 Mina ja Isa oleme üks.

31 Siis võtsid juudid jälle maast kive, et Teda nendega visata.

32 Jeesus kostis neile: „Palju häid tegusid Ma olen teile näidanud Oma Isast; missuguse teo pärast te tahate Mind kividega visata?"

33 Juudid vastasid Temale: „Hea teo pärast me ei viska Sind kividega, vaid Jumala pilkamise pärast ja et Sina, Kes oled inimene, pead Ennast Jumalaks!"

34 Jeesus vastas neile: „Eks teie käsuõpetuses ole kirjutatud: Mina olen ütelnud: Teie olete jumalad!?

35 Kui Ta nimetab jumalaiks neid, kellede kätte sai Jumala sõna - ja Kiri ei või jääda valeks -

36 kuidas te siis ütlete Sellele, Keda Isa on pühitsenud ja läkitanud maailma: Sina pilkad Jumalat! sellepärast et Ma ütlesin: Mina olen Jumala Poeg?

37 Kui Ma ei tee Oma Isa tegusid, siis ärge Mind uskuge;

38 aga kui Ma teen, siis uskuge neid tegusid, kui te ka Mind ei usu, et te tunneksite ja saaksite aru, et Isa on Minus ja Mina olen Isas!"

39 Siis nad püüdsid taas Teda kinni võtta aga Ta pääsis nende käest.

40 Ja Tema läks jälle teisele poole Jordanit, sinna paika, kus Johannes esmalt oli olnud ristimas; ja Ta viibis seal.

41 Ja paljud tulid Tema juure ja ütlesid: „Johannes ei teinud küll ühtki tunnustähte; aga kõik, mis Johannes Sellest Mehest on ütelnud, on tõsi!"

42 Ja seal uskusid paljud Temasse.

1 Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

2 He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.

3 The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

4 When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

5 They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

6 In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

7 So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.

9 I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.

10 The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

11 I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

12 He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:

13 Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.

14 I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

15 Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.

16 And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

17 For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.

18 No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

19 There was a division again among the Jews because of these words.

20 And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?

21 Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

22 Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;

23 And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's covered way.

24 Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

25 Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

26 But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.

27 My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

28 And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

29 That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him.

32 Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

33 This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

34 In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

35 If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

36 Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;

38 But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

39 Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.

40 And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time.

41 And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

42 And a number came to have faith in him there.
