\subsection{John 10}
\subsubsection{Jesus as the Good Shepherd}
\lettrine[lraise=0]{T}{ruly} truly I say to you, 
the [one] not coming in through the gate into the sheep-pen,
but coming up from elsewhere, he is [a] thief and [a] robber. 
\VS{2} But the [one] coming in through the gate is [the] shepherd of the sheep. 
\VS{3} The gatekeeper opens [the gate] to him, 
and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls%
\footnote{verb form of 'voice'} 
his own sheep by name, and he leads them out. 
\VS{4} When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, 
and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. 
\VS{5} They will \negd{not} follow [the voice belonging] to [a] stranger, 
but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers. 
\VS{6} Jesus told them this parable; 
but they did not know what it was that he was speaking to them. 

\VS{7} So Jesus said again, Truly truly I say to you that I am the gate of the sheep. 
\VS{8} All who came before me%
\footnote{Omit "before me": \papyrus{45,75} \sinaiticus{}\vaticanus{}} 
are thieves and robbers. 
But the sheep have not heard them. 
\VS{9} I am the gate. If anyone enter through me, he will be saved, 
and he will come in and will go out and will find pasture. 
\VS{10} The thief does not come except in order that he steal and 
slaughter\footnote{ThUO: `slaughter' or `sacrifice'. 
This word is used both for slaughtering livestock, 
and for temple sacrifices. 
It is not the usual word for `kill', which is APOKTEINO } 
and destroy;\fnApollumi{}
I came in order that they have zoe-life\fnZoe{} and have [it] exceedingly.%
\footnote{Compare \myxref{Luke}{12}{15}} 

\VS{11} I am the good shepherd. 
The good shepherd commits%
\footnote{"commits": Generally translated ``lays down,''
implying sacrificial-death.
But the verb here (TIThEMI) means an ongoing life commitment ---
perhaps unto death.  } 
his psyche-life\fnPsyche{} in behalf of the sheep. 
\VS{12} But the hired-hand moreover not being shepherd, 
of whom the sheep are not his own, 
he sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees --- 
and the wolf seizes them and scatters [them] --- 
\VS{13} [he flees] because he is [a] hired-hand 
and the sheep are not [a] concern to him. 

\VS{14} I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, 
\VS{15} just as the father knows me, and I know the father, 
and I commit my psyche-life\fnPsyche{} in behalf of the sheep. 
\VS{16} And I have other sheep that are not of this sheep-pen, 
and I must lead [them], and they will hear my voice, 
and they will become one flock, one shepherd. 
\VS{17} Because of this the father agape-loves me, 
because I commit my psyche-life\fnPsyche{}, in order that I again receive it. 
\VS{18} No one takes it from me, 
but I dedicate it myself. I have authority to dedicate it, 
and I have authority to again receive it; 
this commandment I received from my father. 

\VS{19} [A] division again came to pass among the Jews because of these words. 
\VS{20} And many among them were saying, 
He has [a] demon and is insane; Wwhy do you hear him? 
\VS{21} Others were saying, These words are not [those] of [one] demon-possessed. 
Is [a] demon able to open [the] eyes of [the] blind\fnGrammarIndicatesNo{}?

\subsubsection{The Festival of Dedication}
\VS{22} The Festival of Dedication then came to pass in Jerusalem. 
It was winter, 
\VS{23} and Jesus was walking in the temple in the porch of Solomon. 
\VS{24} So the Jews encircled him and were saying to him, 
How long do you hold our psyche-lives\fnPsyche{} [in suspense]? 
If you are the Christ, tell us openly. 
\VS{25} Jesus answered them, I told you and you did not believe. 
The works that I do in the name of my father, these witness concerning me, 
\VS{26} but you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. 
\VS{27} My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, 
\VS{28} and I give them zoe-life\fnZoe{} eternal, 
and they will \negd{not} perish\footnote{or ``be ruined''} to eternity, 
and no one will seize them from my hand. 
\VS{29} My father who has given [them]%
\footnote{``My father who has given [them] \papyrus{66,75}\koine{}; 
``What my father has given" \sinaiticus{}B \vulgate{}} 
to me is greater than all, 
and no one is able to be seizing [them] from the hand of my father. 
\VS{30} I and my father are one [thing]. 

\VS{31} The Jews again took up stones in order that they stone him. 
\VS{32} Jesus answered them, Many good works I showed you from my father; 
for what sort of work among them do you stone me? 
\VS{33} The Jews answered him, 
Concerning [a] good work we do not stone you but concerning [God] slander, 
and because you being [a] man make yourself God. 

\VS{34} Jesus answered them, 
Is it not written in your law that\footnote{Ps.82:6}
\begin{verse}
I said, You are gods? 
\end{verse}
\VS{35} If he called them ``gods'', to whom the word of God came, 
and the scripture cannot be loosed, 
\VS{36} Do you say of him, 
whom the father made holy and sent into the world, 
that: You are slandering [God], because I said: I am [the] son of God?
\VS{37} If I am not doing the works of my father, be not trusting in me. 
\VS{38} But if I do [them], and if you are not trusting in me, 
[then] be trusting in the works, 
in order that you know and be knowing that the father [is] in me and I in the father. 
\VS{39} So they were again seeking to arrest him, and he went out from their hand.

\VS{40} And he departed again to the other side of the Jordan 
to the place where John was first baptizing, and he abided there. 
\VS{41} And many came to him and were saying that John on the one hand made no sign, 
but on the other everything as much as John said concerning this [one] was true. 
\VS{42} And many believed in him there.
