Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 10

1. amen amen dico vobis qui non intrat per ostium in ovile ovium sed ascendit aliunde ille fur est et latro

1. Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2. qui autem intrat per ostium pastor est ovium

2. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3. huic ostiarius aperit et oves vocem ejus audiunt et proprias oves vocat nominatim et educit eas

3. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4. et cum proprias oves emiserit ante eas vadit et oves illum sequuntur quia sciunt vocem ejus

4. And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

5. alienum autem non sequuntur sed fugient ab eo quia non noverunt vocem alienorum

5. But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.

6. hoc proverbium dixit eis Jesus illi autem non cognoverunt quid loqueretur eis

6. This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them.

7. dixit ergo eis iterum Jesus amen amen dico vobis quia ego sum ostium ovium

7. Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8. omnes quotquot venerunt fures sunt et latrones sed non audierunt eos oves

8. All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.

9. ego sum ostium per me si quis introjerit salvabitur et ingredietur et egredietur et pascua inveniet

9. I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures.

10. fur non venit nisi ut furetur et mactet et perdat ego veni ut vitam habeant et abundantius habeant

10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.

11. ego sum pastor bonus bonus pastor animam suam dat pro ovibus

11. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

12. mercennarius et qui non est pastor cujus non sunt oves propriæ videt lupum venientem et dimittit oves et fugit et lupus rapit et dispergit oves

12. But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep:

13. mercennarius autem fugit quia mercennarius est et non pertinet ad eum de ovibus

13. And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.

14. ego sum pastor bonus et cognosco meas et cognoscunt me meæ

14. I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me.

15. sicut novit me Pater et ego agnosco Patrem et animam meam pono pro ovibus

15. As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.

16. et alias oves habeo quæ non sunt ex hoc ovili et illas oportet me adducere et vocem meam audient et fiet unum ovile unus pastor

16. And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.

17. propterea me Pater diligit quia ego pono animam meam ut iterum sumam eam

17. Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

18. nemo tollit eam a me sed ego pono eam a me ipso potestatem habeo ponendi eam et potestatem habeo iterum sumendi eam hoc mandatum accepi a Patre meo

18. No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself, and I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

19. dissensio iterum facta est inter Judæos propter sermones hos

19. A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words.

20. dicebant autem multi ex ipsis dæmonium habet et insanit quid eum auditis

20. And many of them said: He hath a devil, and is mad: why hear you him?

21. alii dicebant hæc verba non sunt dæmonium habentis numquid dæmonium potest cæcorum oculos aperire

21. Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil: Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

22. facta sunt autem encenia in Hierosolymis et hiemps erat

22. And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was winter.

23. et ambulabat Jesus in templo in porticu Salomonis

23. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

24. circumdederunt ergo eum Judæi et dicebant ei quousque animam nostram tollis si tu es Christus dic nobis palam

24. The Jews therefore came round about him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

25. respondit eis Jesus loquor vobis et non creditis opera quæ ego facio in nomine Patris mei hæc testimonium perhibent de me

25. Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.

26. sed vos non creditis quia non estis ex ovibus meis

26. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.

27. oves meæ vocem meam audiunt et ego cognosco eas et sequuntur me

27. My sheep hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me.

28. et ego vitam æternam do eis et non peribunt in æternum et non rapiet eas quisquam de manu mea

28. And I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand.

29. Pater meus quod dedit mihi majus omnibus est et nemo potest rapere de manu Patris mei

29. That which my Father hath given me, is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father.

30. ego et Pater unum sumus

30. I and the Father are one.

31. sustulerunt lapides Judæi ut lapidarent eum

31. The Jews then took up stones to stone him.

32. respondit eis Jesus multa opera bona ostendi vobis ex Patre meo propter quod eorum opus me lapidatis

32. Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?

33. responderunt ei Judæi de bono opere non lapidamus te sed de blasphemia et quia tu homo cum sis facis te ipsum Deum

33. The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, maketh thyself God.

34. respondit eis Jesus nonne scriptum est in lege vestra quia ego dixi dii estis

34. Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said you are gods?

35. si illos dixit deos ad quos sermo Dei factus est et non potest solvi scriptura

35. If he called them gods, to whom to word of God was spoken, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36. quem Pater sanctificavit et misit in mundum vos dicitis quia blasphemas quia dixi Filius Dei sum

36. Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

37. si non facio opera Patris mei nolite credere mihi

37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38. si autem facio et si mihi non vultis credere operibus credite ut cognoscatis et credatis quia in me est Pater et ego in Patre

38. But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

39. quærebant ergo eum prendere et exivit de manibus eorum

39. They sought therefore to take him; and he escaped out of their hands.

40. et abiit iterum trans Jordanen in eum locum ubi erat Johannes baptizans primum et mansit illic

40. And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first; and there he abode.

41. et multi venerunt ad eum et dicebant quia Johannes quidem signum fecit nullum

41. And many resorted to him, and they said: John indeed did no sign.

42. omnia autem quæcumque dixit Johannes de hoc vera erant et multi crediderunt in eum

42. But all things whatsoever John said of this man, were true. And many believed in him.
