1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 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 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep , and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which 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 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 ¶ There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 ¶ And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. 42 And many believed on him there.

Iso — yaxshi choʻpon
1 Iso dedi: “Sizlarga chinini aytayin: kim qoʻy qoʻrasiga eshikdan kirmay, boshqa yoʻldan oshib tushsa, u oʻgʻri va bosqinchidir. 2 Eshikdan kirgan odam esa qoʻylarning choʻponidir. 3 Qorovul unga eshikni ochib beradi. Qoʻylar uning ovoziga quloq soladi. U esa oʻz qoʻylarini nomma–nom chaqirib, tashqariga olib chiqadi. 4 U oʻz qoʻylarini qoʻradan olib chiqqanda, ularning oldida boraveradi. Qoʻylar esa unga ergashadi, chunki ular choʻponning ovozini biladilar. 5 Begona kishiga esa ergashmaydilar. Aksincha, begonaning ovozini tanimay, undan qochadilar.”
6 Iso bu matalni aytib berganda, tinglovchilar U nima demoqchi ekanligini tushunmadilar. 7 Shu sababdan Iso yana dedi: “Sizlarga chinini aytay: Men qoʻylar uchun eshikman. 8 Mendan oldin kelganlarning hammasi oʻgʻri va bosqinchi edilar. Lekin qoʻylar ularga quloq solmadilar. 9 Men eshikman. Kim Men orqali kirsa, najot topadi. U kirib chiqib, yaylov ham topadi. 10 Oʻgʻri faqat oʻgʻirlash, boʻgʻizlash, barbod qilish uchun keladi. Men esa ularga hayot, farovon hayot berish uchun kelganman.
11 Men yaxshi choʻponman. Yaxshi choʻpon qoʻylari uchun jonini fido qiladi. 12 Yollangan odam esa qoʻylarning na choʻponi, na egasidir. U boʻrining kelganini koʻrgach, qoʻylarni tashlab qochadi. Boʻri esa qoʻylarni talab, tumtaraqay qiladi. 13 Yollangan odam shunchaki yollangan boʻlgani uchun va qoʻylar haqida qaygʻurmagani uchun qochadi.
14-15 Men yaxshi choʻponman. Osmondagi Otam Meni va Men Otamni bilganimday, Men qoʻylarimni bilaman, ular ham Meni biladilar. Men qoʻylarim uchun jonimni fido qilaman. 16 Bu qoʻrada boʻlmagan boshqa qoʻylarim ham bor. Ularni ham olib kelishim kerak. Ular ham Mening ovozimga quloq soladi, shunda bir suruv, bir choʻpon boʻladi. 17 Men jonimni qaytib olishim uchun uni fido qilaman, shu bois Otam Meni yaxshi koʻradi. 18 Hech kim jonimni Mendan tortib ololmaydi. Men Oʻz ixtiyorim bilan uni fido qilaman. Jonimni berishga va uni qaytarib olishga hokimiyatim bor. Buni Menga Otam buyurgan.”
19 Isoning bu soʻzlari tufayli, yahudiylar orasida yana kelishmovchilik kelib chiqdi. 20 Oralaridan koʻpchilik:
— Uni jin uribdi, U aqldan ozgan! Nega Unga quloq solyapsizlar? — der edilar. 21 Boshqalari esa:
— Bu jin urganning soʻzlari emas. Jin koʻr odamning koʻzlarini ocha olarmidi?! — deb aytishardi.
Isoni rad qilishadi
22 Oʻsha vaqtda Quddusda Maʼbadni bagʻishlash bayrami nishonlanayotgan edi. Qish fasli edi. 23 Iso Maʼbadda Sulaymon ayvoni degan joyda aylanib yurar edi. 24 Yahudiylar Uning atrofini oʻrab oldilar.
— Qachongacha bizni ikkilantirasiz? Agar Masih boʻlsangiz, bizga ochigʻini ayting, — deyishdi.
25 Iso ularga javob berdi:
— Men sizlarga aytdim, ammo sizlar ishonmayapsizlar. Osmondagi Otam nomidan qilayotgan ishlarim kimligimni koʻrsatib turibdi. 26 Sizlar esa ishonmayapsizlar, chunki sizlar Mening qoʻylarimdan emassizlar. 27 Mening qoʻylarim ovozimga quloq soladi. Men ularni taniyman, ular esa Menga ergashib yurishadi. 28 Men ularga abadiy hayot beraman, ular hech qachon halok boʻlmaydilar. Hech kim ularni Mening qoʻlimdan tortib ololmaydi. 29 Ularni Menga bergan Otam hammadan buyukdir. Otamning qoʻlidan ularni tortib olishga hech kimning kuchi yetmaydi. 30 Men va Otam birmiz.
31 Yahudiylar yana Isoni toshboʻron qilmoqchi boʻldilar.
32 — Men sizlarga Ota buyurgan koʻp xayrli ishlarni koʻrsatdim, ularning qaysi biri uchun Meni toshboʻron qilmoqchisizlar? — deb soʻradi Iso. 33 Yahudiylar Unga shunday deyishdi:
— Xayrli ishingiz uchun emas, kufrligingiz uchun Sizni toshboʻron qilmoqchimiz. Siz odam boʻla turib Oʻzingizni Xudo deyapsiz!
34 Iso shunday javob qaytardi:
— Sizlar oʻzlaringiz doim oʻqiydigan Muqaddas bitiklarda : “Aytdimki, hammangiz xudolarsiz” , deb yozilgan emasmi?! 35 Oʻzlaringiz bilasizlar: Muqaddas bitiklarni oʻzgartirib boʻlmaydi. Xudoning kalomini olgan odamlar “xudolar” deb atalgan–ku! 36 Meni esa Otam Oʻzi uchun ajratib olib, dunyoga yuborgan. Men “Xudoning Oʻgʻliman ” deganim uchun kufrlik qilgan boʻlamanmi?! 37 Agar Men Otamning ishlarini qilmayotgan boʻlsam, Menga ishonmay qoʻya qolinglar. 38 Bordi–yu, Uning ishlarini qilayotgan boʻlsam, Menga ishonmasangiz ham, qilayotgan ishlarimga ishoninglar. Shunda Ota Menda va Men Otada ekanimni bilib, anglab olasizlar.
39 Ular yana Isoni ushlab olishga harakat qildilar, ammo Iso ularning changalidan qutulib qoldi.
40 Soʻng Iso Iordan daryosining sharq tomoniga, ilgari Yahyo odamlarni choʻmdirib yurgan joyga qaytib borib, u yerda qoldi. 41 Uning oldiga koʻp odamlar kelishardi. Ular shunday deb aytishardi: “Yahyo hech qanday moʻjizali alomat koʻrsatmagan edi, lekin Yahyoning bu Odam haqida aytgan hamma gapi toʻgʻri chiqdi.” 42 Shunday qilib, oʻsha yerdagi koʻp odamlar Isoga ishondilar.
