Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ μισθωτὸς
the hired_hand
Jesus uses the phrase hired servant to refer to the Jewish leaders and teachers. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a simile or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “each of your leaders is like a hired servant”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ μισθωτὸς
the hired_hand
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the man whom someone hired”

τὸν λύκον & ὁ λύκος
the wolf & the wolf
A wolf is a fierce wild dog that is known for attacking and devouring livestock. If your readers would not be familiar with this animal, you could use the name of a fierce predator or wild dog in your area that commonly eats farmers’ livestock, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “the fierce predator … that predator”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὰ πρόβατα & τὰ πρόβατα
his sheep & the sheep
See how you translated sheep in the 10:8.

the the wolf /is/_snatching them and /is/_scattering
This clause describes two events. The first event causes the second event. When the wolf attacks and seizes a sheep, the other sheep scatter. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could show this relationship by using a fuller phrase. Alternate translation: “the wolf seizes a sheep, and the rest of the sheep scatter”
10:1-42 Chapter 10 continues the series of festival sermons (see study note on 5:1–10:42). Here, the setting is Hanukkah (the Festival of Dedication), the timing of which is crucial to understanding the story (see study note on 10:22).
